Cetronia Chronicle

Archived Issues

April 2024 | Issue #46

Greetings!


Spring has sprung and that means all kinds of things are growing ... including our non-profit organization! We are excited to announce that we are expanding our services into Northampton County to include Bushkill Township. The Bushkill Township Volunteer Fire Co. oversaw the emergency medical services for many years but recently felt the pressures of the EMS industry and needed to parse out that portion. Bushkill chose Cetronia to be their provider for the longstanding history and strength that we have in the region. We are pleased to be able to expand and to be able to offer their current staff better wages and benefits than they had been making. We officially take over on May 1, so be on the lookout for us in that area. We still have a few spots to fill, so if you are interested find out more, here.


Our official 2023 audit has been completed and I am happy to share our 2023 Community Service Report. We had a very busy year and look forward to an even busier one in 2024.


Please let me know if you have any questions regarding our expansion or the Report. I'd be happy to answer them for you.


Stay well,


Robert F. Mateff Sr.

Chief Executive Officer
