New York State Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb (R,C,I-Canandaigua) (pictured, standing) hosted a Yellow Dot information session and Senior Town Hall meeting at Quail Summit to discuss the benefits of the New York State Sheriffs' Association's Yellow Dot program today in Canandaigua. Leader Kolb was joined by Ontario County Sheriff Philip C. Povero to outline the program, a free initiative designed to help first responders provide life-saving medical attention during that first "golden hour" after a vehicular crash or emergency.
"As a state legislator, I am always looking for ways to help protect the families I represent," Leader Kolb said. "The Yellow Dot program is a great way to help our first responders quickly offer critical medical care, while also ensuring drivers and their families that medical information is readily available in case of an emergency. I would like to thank the New York State Sheriffs' Association for offering this free program to the residents of our community."
