WILLIAMSPORT– On Tuesday, Feb. 23, representatives from UPMC, Susquehanna Regional EMS, and the PPL Foundation unveiled UPMC’s Special Response Vehicle, a new resource for emergency response in northcentral Pennsylvania.
“Today has been a long time coming for our region,” said Jim Slotterback, manager, Emergency Preparedness, UPMC in the Susquehanna Region. “Within the last decade we’ve seen a significant increase in demand for special resources like this vehicle across the state and locally.
