The Candor Emergency Squad (CES) recently announced the receipt of a grant from the Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation. These grant monies were used to make much-needed safety and security repairs to the building owned and operated by the Candor Emergency Squad, and located at 58 Main St. in the Village of Candor. <\/p>\n
The CES is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that has provided emergency medical care to Candor and the surrounding communities for nearly 60 years, responding to an average of 700 calls per year. CES covers 95 square miles of territory in Tioga County with over 5,000 residents. <\/span><\/p>\n In 2021, and with overwhelming support from residents, CES entered into a contract with the Town of Candor; the town now provides funding to offset labor costs associated with a full, professionally staffed crew. This grant allowed CES to make facility modifications necessary to protect critical assets and to guarantee the safety and security of the crew now providing 24\/7 care to the community. <\/p>\n
