The Patchogue Ambulance Company held a swearing-in of four new officers as well as other officials at its recent meeting.

The four new officers sworn in by Town of Brookhaven Councilman Tim Mazzei were Director Paul Pearo, Assistant Chief Ron Tremblay, Chief Christopher Schiera and Director William Reiff. Recording Secretary Joan Grauer, Second Vice President Aime Lang, Financial Secretary Kathleen Gallo, Point Secretary Bill Rouse, and Treasurer John Ferente were also sworn in.

Chief Christopher Schiera has been elected as President of the Patchogue Ambulance Company.

"I am very proud to have been elected president. I am even more proud of our dedicated volunteers who answered more than 2,500 calls for help last year alone. I look forward to leading this company to its full potential, and to realize our mission statement of providing Best In Class emergency medical care for all," Schiera said.

"The company as a whole could not be prouder of the newly installed officers and their commitment to excellence to the company and community," said Jennifer Johnson, a member of the Patchogue Ambulance Company and an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).

"In the past couple years we have turned out more certified EMT's than any other department and our membership has double. We were honored to have Councilman Tim Mazzei join us and swear in our officers and all members that attended that night."

The Patchogue Ambulance Company is an advanced life support emergency medical service that has served the Village of Patchogue, portions of East Patchogue and Blue Point since 1934.
