Susquehanna Valley EMS, Inc., Lancaster County was presented $4,895.00 for EMS equipment at a ceremony held recently by the Emergency Health Services Federation. The funds were made available by the Pennsylvania Department of Health through the Emergency Medical Services Operating Fund (EMSOF). This fund was established by the General Assembly to provide financial support to emergency medical services providers, and is derived from a surcharge on moving traffic violations.

The Emergency Health Services Federation is a nonprofit corporation that serves as the regional emergency medical services council for southeastern Pennsylvania.

In attendance was Scott Ryno, Assistant Director, who accepted the check from Cynthia S. Ehlers, President of the Emergency Health Services Federation.
