United Hatzalah of Israel is Israel’s largest independent volunteer emergency medical service, providing fast and free emergency care to anyone in need, regardless of race, religion or background.
Its volunteers include Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Druze, religious and secular medics, men and women, all united by one mission: to save lives. These trained volunteer medics leave their homes, workplaces, schools and families at a moment’s notice to respond to emergencies in their own communities.
Through United Hatzalah’s GPS-based dispatch system, the closest available medic is alerted and sent directly to the scene, often arriving within minutes, in the critical moments before an ambulance can get there.
One of the most effective tools in this lifesaving model is the Rapid Response E-Bike.
A United Hatzalah Rapid Response E-Bike costs A$20,000 and is designed to help volunteer medics move quickly through crowded streets, narrow roads, pedestrian areas, school zones and busy city centres where larger emergency vehicles can be delayed. The e-bike is equipped with a medic bag and defibrillator, enabling the volunteer to begin lifesaving treatment immediately on arrival. United Hatzalah describes the e-bike as a sturdy, high-quality aluminium rapid-response bike built for emergency care and improved manoeuvrability in busy urban areas.
Every Home is raising funds to dedicate a United Hatzalah Rapid Response E-Bike, placing a trained volunteer medic on the road and bringing lifesaving help closer to the next emergency.
Every life saved with this e-bike will be because of the incredible community at Every Home, whose generosity will help ensure that when every second matters, someone trained, equipped and ready can be there in time.
