This month the Rangos Community Building and Engagement Committee collaborated with to host a powerful panel with members of the Freedom House Ambulance Service; John Moon, Larry Underwood, Darnella Wilson, and George McCary III.

Founded in 1967 in the Hill District, The Freedom House pioneered modern emergency medical services by training and deploying some of the nations first paramedics, setting life-saving standards that transformed pre-hospital care nationwide.

Freedom House’s legacy is rooted in innovation, community service, and breaking barriers.
