Official Ambulance Dedication
September 18th, 2008
After many years of hard work and commitment, EMeRG’s first ambulance was officially dedicated last week at Veteran’s Park on the George Washington University campus. Many members of the EMS and University community attended the ceremony including DCFEMS Asst. Chief of EMS Operations Rafael Sa’ada, Chief of University Police Dolores Stafford, University President Dr. Steven Knapp, and Senior Vice President of SASS Dr. Robert Chernak. The ambulance was praised as another step in “[making] sure the students, staff and visitors to George Washington University are protected,” as Chief Sa’ada stated.
“I think the ambulance represents a paradigm shift in the way we run EMT services at the University,” said Marc Berenson, EMeRG Coordinator. The ambulance was officially christened by Chief Stafford who broke a champagne bottle on its rear bumper surrounded by members and alumni of the organization.
