Israel Hatzalah in Israel, on the national level, exists as two different organizations: Tzevet Hatzolah, and Ichud Hatzalah (rendered in English as United Hatzalah). Hatzolah Israel was the original organization, under the leadership of David "Duki" Greenwald. In 2006, Ichud Hatzalah was launched as competing organization with Hatzolah Israel, which eventually led Hatzolah Israel to declare bankruptcy. Many Hatzolah Israel volunteers who were dissatisfied with the actions of Ichud Hatzalah's leadership objected to joining the organization, and launched their own organization called Tzevet Hatzolah (loosely translated to TEAM Hatzolah).

While Tzevet Hatzolah volunteers provide both emergency first responder care and emergency transport utilizing Magen David Adom ambulances, Ichud Hatzalah primarily provides first responder care and largely relies on Magen David Adom for emergency transport. Each of the organizations has many local chapters, and provides coordinated response for larger emergencies or extra coverage across multiple localities.

Additionally, there are several smaller Hatzolah organizations that operate on the local level. A partial list can be found below. Beit Shemesh (unaffiliated; only service to provide both first response and ambulance transportation) Har Nof (affiliated with MDA, named HaChovesh, instead of Hatzolah) Gush Dan (out of Bnei Brak, greater Tel Aviv area, including: Ra'anana, Herzliya, Netanya; unaffiliated)

Mexico Chevra Hatzalah Mexico was founded in 1997 by Mr. Chaim Silver. The branch is run by the Syrian-Sephardic community under supervision of Mr. Abraham Levy who is the CEO. It has 70 full-time volunteers, seven ambulances and six locations (five bases and a headquarters). It also has access to a helicopter and air transport. All dispatchers are Volunteer EMS for immediate intervention and instructions, some of them certified in Advanced Critical Care Medicine and Emergency response, actually working for prestigious Mexican Hospitals and National Medical Centers. Volunteers have plenty of experience in Trauma and Internal Medicine emergencies, having training in the Mexican Red Cross's Ambulance Center. The branch covers the Jewish areas of Tecamachalco, Bosques, Polanco, Interlomas, and the weekend resort city Cuernavaca. It has full-time operating bases in three major Jewish areas, having its Central Base in Tecamachalco, a dense populated Jewish area in Mexico City.

Connecticut The Orthodox community in Waterbury, Connecticut, centered around the yeshiva there, has its own Hatzalah.

In 2016 the Mesivta of Yeshiva of Waterbury moved to Durham, Connecticut. As Durham is 35 minutes away from the Jewish community in Waterbury, the Hatzolah of Durham was established which takes care of the Mesivta of Waterbury Yeshiva campus located in Durham, under the leadership and guidance of Rabbi Daniel Kalish.

Florida In January 2010, Hatzalah of Miami-Dade began with providing basic life support response in Miami-Dade County and relying on Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and Miami Beach Fire Department for advanced life support care and transport.

On April 26, 2021, the Florida Senate unanimously passed bill CS/HB 1084, which allows certain faith-based first responder agencies to obtain licensure as an ambulance transport provider. On June 14, 2021, Governor Ron DeSantis signed it into law.

Now known as Hatzalah South Florida Emergency Medical Services, the non-profit volunteer organization is a fully licensed advanced life support service provider, and provides emergency basic life support and advanced life support response and transport in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, serving communities in some areas of unincorporated North East Miami-Dade County and North Miami Beach, Aventura, Highland Lakes, Surfside, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Miami Beach, Hollywood, Hallandale Beach, Lauderhill, Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton.

Maryland Baltimore started a Hatzalah in 2007 as a first-responder-only service, with transport to be done by Baltimore City ambulance units.

Michigan Hatzalah of Michigan was formed in 2017 to augment existing emergency medical services in the cities of Oak Park, Southfield, and Huntington Woods. Hatzalah of Michigan is state licensed and regulated by the Oakland County Medical Control Authority (OCMCA). The OCMCA oversees all EMS personnel in the county. Hatzalah personnel are licensed EMS providers, who are further advised by a panel of doctors and have trained with fire and ambulance personnel to ensure continuity of care.

New Jersey New Jersey has many Hatzalah divisions throughout the State, each of which maintains their own emergency phone number, dispatchers, and radio frequencies. Although not officially connected, many engage in shared training, purchasing, and stand-by event coverage.

Per New Jersey law, volunteers with municipality-issued permits may equip their cars with blue lights and electronic airhorns. Coordinators/Chiefs ("Officers") personal vehicles, are permitted the use of red lights and sirens; not all divisions make use of these allowances.

Paramedic (ALS) units in New Jersey are hospital system-based, per NJ State law. Hatzalah of Central Jersey, Hatzalah of Metrowest, and Bergen Hatzalah, operate ALS trucks in partnership with Robert Wood Johnson Mobile Health Services. Hatzalah of Passaic/Clifton partners with St. Clare's.
