SIDNEY - Recently, Assemblyman Joeseph Angelino (R,C-Norwich) visited the Air Methods base in Sidney. Air Methods is an organization that provides and operates emergency airlifts to over 100,000 people across the country every year.

Angelino had the opportunity to tour the base as well as thank the hard-working individuals of Air Methods for everything they do.

“It was my pleasure to tour the Air Methods base and to meet with and thank some of the fine folks who work there. The work they do is invaluable to all New Yorkers but especially those in rural areas who may be up to an hour away from the emergency care they desperately need. This organization saves lives every day, and I will do everything in my power to continue to support and advocate for them in Albany,” said Angelino.

Assemblyman Angelino represents the 121st Assembly District, which includes parts of Broome County, Delaware County, Madison County, Chenango County and Otsego County. Follow Assemblyman Angelino on Facebook.
