Ambulance Service Sees Record Demand for Holiday Transport

Ahead of the Jewish holiday, hundreds of patients with mobility issues and their families contacted the "Yossi Ambulance" group requesting accessible transportation to and from holiday meals. The service, which operates under the slogan "Ambulance not just for emergencies," saw a sharp increase in calls.

Accessible ambulance teams transported patients to family holiday tables and back home. This service provides a specialized solution for locations lacking elevators or full accessibility. Medical teams physically assisted patients with boarding and disembarking, ensuring they could celebrate safely and comfortably with loved ones.

The CEO of the group stated, "No person should be left alone on the holiday due to accessibility challenges." The surge in demand highlights a significant need for accessible transport options, particularly during holiday periods when family gatherings are common.
