HART was established in November 2014 and was inspired by the Livingston County DART (Disaster Assistance Response Team). The program’s formation was made possible by support from the Washtenaw County Mutual Aid Association (WAMAA), Huron Valley Ambulance and Peace Lutheran Church , which managed the program until it became in independent nonprofit in 2016. Thanks to the generous donation of a retired ambulance from Huron Valley Ambulance, HART is equipped with an outfitted vehicle that can arrive at the scene of a call to provide much needed services to emergency responders. HART relies on the support of sponsors, community members, and volunteers to serve and assist those who work so hard to keep our community safe.
