United Hatzalah’s strength is in its 6,500 selfless volunteers. These include emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics, and doctors who are on call 24/7/365 – even on Yom Kippur!
United Hatzalah volunteer medics take a 200 hour course and undergo 100 training calls to qualify as EMTs. After passing the exams, each medic receives a rescue bag and a phone that connects him to the LifeCompass System.
From that point forward, the medics are always on call.
