Hope Valley Ambulance will be mailing out Membership/Subscription information each year, usually during the first week of March, to all residents in our service area, which includes the entire town of Richmond and parts of Hopkinton, RI. Memberships are due by April 1st and are valid for one year. While we strive to respond to all 911 emergencies in our coverage area, please note that during times of high call volumes or when multiple calls occur at once, response times may be affected. In such cases, mutual aid ambulances from neighboring areas may be called to assist.
Our subscription helps cover any ambulance transport costs that insurance doesn’t pay, including copayments, for both emergency 911 calls and interfacility transfers. If another ambulance service responds, they maystill honor your Hope Valley Ambulance Membership.
If you have not received your membership information in the mail, you can stop by our station at 5 Fairview Avenue, Hope Valley, RI 02832 to pick one up.
As an independent “third-service” agency, Hope Valley Ambulance does not receive funding from fire taxes and is not part of the Hope Valley Wyoming Fire District or Richmond Carolina Fire District. We primarily rely on billing insurance for transport services, donations, and memberships. Our funding from the towns of Richmond and Hopkinton is minimal.
Your membership is essential to ensuring that we can continue to provide quality emergency services to our community. We encourage you to sign up for a membership or consider making a donation to support our work.
We are also always in need of volunteers for various roles, from drivers to paramedics. If you’re interested in helping out, please reach out. Your support truly makes a difference in our ability to serve you. Thank you for being part of our community!
