HURLEYVILLE, NY – At the Town of Fallsburg Lions dinner meeting in early October, Albee Bockman updated the group on the activities of Hurleyville’s Mobilemedic Emergency Medical Service that he administers.

This past August, a team of paramedics helped save the lives of a boater and a Morningside Park employee involved in the rescue of the boater and her child during a sudden lightning storm.

Mr. Bockman founded the company as the first paramedic-care unit in Sullivan County, and handled the first call on the very day that they were certified, July 1, 1991.

Under his guidance, the organization has now grown to 62 employees, including paramedics, EMT’s, and dispatchers.

Mr. Bockman acknowledged the excellent working relationship with Catskill Regional Medical Center, their quality of emergency room service and care, and their commitment to provide even greater care with a major renovation.
