HARTFORD, CT (May 12, 2020) – AAA, the premier roadside assistance provider for more than 100 years, is offering local heroes a little peace of mind as they work to keep our communities safe and healthy.

“Health care professionals and first responders on the frontline are spending tireless hours protecting us while at work, and we want to protect them on their journey there and back,” said Amy Parmenter, spokesperson for AAA in Greater Hartford.  “They put themselves at risk every day, so AAA wants to make sure they are taken care of if they have car trouble during this critical time." 

Health care workers and first responders do not need to be AAA members.  For more information visit AAA Health Care Workers and First Responders Roadside Assistance. To initiate roadside assistance service, healthcare professionals and first responders should call 1-855-328-9090.
