AEDs are portable defibrillators that shock the heart back into a proper rhythm. Schools, gyms, casinos, churches, airports, federal buildings, aquatic centers, sports complexes, and other places where large public gatherings occur must have at least one readily available, and staff must be CPR/AED Certified!

Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps has a Public Access Defibrillator Program that offers AEDs to businesses in our area to keep everyone safe! Through our AED service program, we ensure every AED is rescue-ready in the event of an emergency!

Our History

The Commack Volunteer Ambulance Corps was founded in 1966 when a group of local residents joined together after the tragic loss of a child. Initially, the use of a hearse from a local funeral parlor was required whenever there was an emergency. In 1966, Commack Ambulance purchased their first ambulance, an old style Cadillac, and responded to 140 calls within the first three months. This ambulance was originally housed at Christ the King Church, and was later moved to a potato barn (which is now currently Vehicle Tracking Solutions) on Veterans Motor Parkway. In 1967, Commack Ambulance purchased their second ambulance, a 1967 Cadillac. In June 1973, the organization adopted a 24-hour residence response. Members would be alerted of emergencies by phone, and would keep in touch via CB radios. In 1974, the Ambulance Corp broke ground on their current location, 200 Burr Road.
