List of Hatzalah chapters
Hatzalah is a volunteer emergency medical service (EMS) organization primarily serving Jewish communities around the world. The name "Hatzalah" (sometimes spelled "Hatzolah" or "Hatzoloh") is derived from the Hebrew word "הצלה", meaning "rescue" or "relief". Hatzalah organizations operate independently in many countries, but they share the common goal of providing rapid emergency medical response and ambulance services. This article provides a list of Hatzalah chapters, highlighting their global presence and the diversity within the Hatzalah network.
