Their actions made a direct impact on the lives of patients and families across Putnam County.

Thank you to every provider, agency, and partner who continues to answer the call each and every day. Your compassion, skill, and dedication do not go unnoticed, and we are proud to recognize your achievements.

Volunteers will be on hand to help you fill out your cards and explain the importance of these life saving tools.

🚨 Could first responders find your medical info if you couldn't speak for yourself?

When every second counts, the "File of Life" speaks for you. Join us and the Putnam Valley Volunteer Ambulance Corps for a hands-on workshop to get your home emergency-ready!

🗓 Saturday, July 11th @ 2:00 PM
📍 Library Community Room

PVVAC volunteers will be on-site to help you fill out your card accurately. Plus, the library is giving away 50 FREE magnetic File of Life pouches to the first 50 attendees!

We join their family, friends and neighbors in mourning this heartbreaking loss and extend our deepest condolences to all who have been affected by this tragedy including the many first responders on scene. May we keep everyone in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
