Annual Community Memberships

Hope Valley Ambulance holds a community membership drive each year. Commonly, during the first week of February, all residents in our service area (which includes the entire town of Richmond and parts of Hopkinton, RI) should receive an ambulance membership form via postal mail.

Memberships are due by April 1st and are valid for one year.

Our subscription helps cover any ambulance transport costs that insurance doesn’t pay, including copayments, for both emergency 911 calls and interfacility transfers.

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, or click here to complete a form to request one be sent to you.

As an independent 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. Our funding from the towns of Richmond and Hopkinton is minimal. We primarily rely on billing insurance for transport services, donations, and this annual community membership drive. 

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 donating to support our work.

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. If another ambulance service responds, they may still honor your Hope Valley Ambulance membership, but this is not guaranteed.
