What is "hatzalah"

Hatzolah/Hatzalah ("rescue" or "relief" in ) is a volunteer Emergency Medical Service (EMS) organization serving mostly Jewish communities around the world. Most local branches operate independently of each other, but use the common name. The Hebrew spelling of the name is always the same, but there are many variations in transliteration, such as Hatzolah, Hatzoloh, Hatzalah, and Hatzola. It is also often called Chevra Hatzalah, which loosely translates as "Company of Rescuers" or "Group of Rescuers."
