FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIT www.qns.com JULY 14, 2016 • THE QUEENS COURIER 31 SCOTT BARON’S STAR OF QUEENS RON COHEN TREASURER FOREST HILLS VOLUNTEER AMBULANCE CORPS (FHVAC) COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT The Treasurer of FHVAC, Ron Cohen does a great amount of work to help his community. brought to you by star OF queens SCOTT BARON & ASSOCIATES, P.C. Attorneys & Counselors at Law 1-866-WAS-HURT (866) 927-4878 718.738.9800 When he’s in the ambulance, he deals with patients. The FHVAC arrives faster that the city ambulance because it’s local to Forest Hills and Regal Park, so Cohen and his crew help with car accidents, people who are having diffi culty breathing, cardiac arrests and more. CURRENT ROLE Apart from ambulatory work, Cohen helps community members join the corps and personally trains them. When those who are interested come in to speak to a FHVAC representative, they speak to Cohen. As treasurer, he also manages the fi nancials. PERSONAL When Cohen isn’t volunteering, he’s working and spending time with his wife of a year and 10-week-old daughter. He is just as passionate about his work as an independent real estate broker as he is about the volunteer work. INSPIRATIONS Inspired by his own misfortune, Cohen has been interested in emergency medical organizations ever since being in a bad car accident of his own. With an added love for management, it is the perfect job for him. Helping those in need and helping the community is what inspires him. CHALLENGES Cohen’s biggest challenge is motivating his fellow volunteers since the entire organization is unpaid, yet it needs to work like any other business would. FAVORITE MEMORIES Meeting and falling for his wife is Cohen’s favorite memory. He was the chairman of the membership committee of FHVAC and she was a new member. He started training her and working with her in the ambulance little by little. Cohen said their connection grew much stronger after a night where they had to help 33 cardiac arrest patients.
