Mad River Valley Ambulance Service

Since 1970, the Mad River Valley Ambulance Service (mrvas) has been providing 24-hour emergency medical Service to residents and visitors of the Mad River Valley, as well as the sugarbush and Mad River glen ski areas. Since its inception, mrvas has undergone considerable growth to keep pace with the growing needs of the community, as well as advances in emergency medical care. The Service is fortunate to have a highliy dedicated group of over 60 volunteers, many of whom have advanced training and certification which enables them to perform advanced life support procedures. None of these volunteers are compensated for their time, which includes a minimum of five 12-hour duty shifts per month, plus at least one night of training each month as well as other duties required by mrvas.
