EMS World magazine features UVAC
EMS World magazine highlighted the University Volunteer Ambulance Corps (UVAC) and five other university-based, student-run ambulance services. UVAC is one of the more than 250 college-based emergency medical services (EMS) units in the United States, according to the National Collegiate EMS Foundation. The 70-member UVAC, which has two ambulances staffed by EMTs and paramedics, annually responds to about 430 calls. Connor Gilson, assistant chief of relations, told the magazine the volunteers are “like a family or fraternity.”
