To provide continuously improving high quality emergency medical and special rescue services to the citizens of the Charlottesville, Albemarle and the University of Virginia communities by utilizing the collaborative effort of a diverse team of highly skilled volunteers in alliance with partner agencies.
Founded in 1960, the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad was the first first-aid service in the Charlottesville and Albemarle communities. CARS has a rich tradition of advanced medical technologies and high volunteer standards to ensure the the highest quality of care to our patients. Recently, we have developed a CARS C.A.R.E.S program (Community Accessible Resources, Education, and Support), which is a community outreach initiative that seeks to build collaborative relationships within the community we serve to provide critical life-saving skills, equipment, and knowledge to citizens. We have opportunities in our squad including working on the ambulance, water rescue team, vehicle rescue team, remote access team, with CARS CARES, and many administrative functions.
