SOUTHWEST AMBULANCE CELEBRATING EMS WEEK BY DONATING AMBULANCE TO AQUA PRIETA, MEXICO
AND MINI-BUS TO NOGALES, MEXICO
(Tucson, AZ) On Wednesday, May 23, Southwest Ambulance will donate an ambulance to Aqua Prieta, Mexico to be used by Cruz Roja (Mexico’s Red Cross), and a mini-bus to Nogales, Mexico to be used by it’s Homeland Security Department. The donation is being made during National EMS Week in hopes of raising awareness of the efforts of ambulance, fire and health care workers. The 10 AM transfer ceremony will be held at Southwest Ambulance’s Southern Arizona Headquarters 3759 N. Commerce Drive in Tucson. Representatives from Aqua Prieta, and Nogales will be present to accept the keys to the vehicles. Both English and Spanish speakers will be in attendance. “This ambulance will make a significant impact on the medical care Aqua Prieta, Mexico residents and visitors receive,” said Patrick Sullivan, Division General Manager of Southwest Ambulance’s Southern Arizona Operations. “The mini-bus was greatly needed and will be an important resource for Nogales’ Homeland Security Department.” About 75 miles from Tucson, Nogales is a border town and the main port of entry into Mexico. The city of Agua Prieta is about 135 mileage from Tucson, and 2hrs and 15 minutes driving from Tucson City. These are the first donations that Southwest Ambulance has made to Nogales or Aqua Prieta, but Southwest has donated other vehicles in the past to other Mexican communities including Rocky Point and Guaymas. Southwest Ambulance has also donated units to Caraz, Peru. - WHAT: Southwest Ambulance Transfer of Donated Ambulance to Aqua Prieta, Mexico, and Donated Mini-bus to Nogales, Mexico
