Englewood resident Josh Hartman and Englewood Mayor Michael Wildes are passionate about Chevra Hatzalah, having served their communities in Manhattan as emergency responders for many years. Hartman is leading a new squad called Bergen Hatzalah Englewood Division, which seeks to provide stabilizing emergency services to residents of Englewood. “Hatzalah is an incredible organization that harnesses a first-response model, which is different from the ambulance-based systems currently in most places around the world, including places like Englewood and Bergen County in general,” he told The Jewish Link. “Many members of our Englewood community and indeed the wider Bergen County have lived at some point in communities with a strong Hatzalah presence.”
