The Ezras Nashim, (aka Chasdei Devorah Inc.) Organization has been granted an ambulance permit by New York State EMS Council on Thursday.
The vote at SEMSCO passed by 23 votes, with two members voting against it. A third person abstained.
The organization will now be permitted to serve female clientele within a 2.7 square-mile area in the Boro Park neighborhood.

Mazel tov…as long as it’s not coming from feministic tendencies
Very good. Brocho veHatzlocho !
Now that they got their license please let’s not talk about it or make machlokes
Machlokes brings DANGER, it’s the exact opposite for why Hatzolah was created
Mazel tov to women for standing up for the right to choose .
I can show you a place in the US where all emergency medical service workers are women. (No joke!)
LOL you posted the picture upside down.
718-387-1750
718-230-1000
212-230-1000
Know these numbers!
In discussing this topic you have to note that United Hatzala in Israel has women members and you didn’t hear any complaints.
I can see why some would be against it, but it’s been proven to work. Maybe because here in the crazy liberal USA things can go wrong, but on the other hand there is a good case for it.
There are many cases where a patient refuses to cooperate or go to the hospital and a sympathetic hatazala member convinces them that they must go. A woman talking to a woman [atient can be at times very helpful and it can save a life.
Is that upside down picture on purpose??
That is such a disrespectful way to depict a woman who has done so much for our community. Shame on you, YWN. You can disagree without belittling the people with whom you disagree. Act like adults.
Here we go again…
I find it hard to believe that NYS only permitted them to treat female clientele. Isn’t that illegal discrimination?
I understand they’re only interested in that but the state can’t legally only allow them to treat one gender.
They will be permitted to serve male & female clientele
