The student-run emergency medical services at the University of Dayton (UD) have been recognized by the National Collegiate Emergency Medical Services Foundation with achievements for cardiac arrest care and emergency management operations.
The UD Emergency Medical Services has been promoted to the silver level of the foundation and been re-certified into its “HEARTSafe Campus” program. Such news is often spread throughout a college campus with flyer printing.
This silver tier recognition means that an organization has gone above basic preparation by finishing training targeted for responders and leaders. Documented processes for campus alert requests and incident planning Forms and evidence of plans for emergency operations have to be integrated or developed into the processes of the organization.
UD Emergency Medical Services chief and a senior majoring in security studies and criminal justice, Joseph Kern, expressed his honor on behalf of the group for the recognition given for their professional development and hard work by their first responders. He also thanked the mentoring and support of Dr. Greg Kohls, their EMS physician and medical director, and UD Public Safety in helping them be seen as one of the top EMS programs across the country.
The HEARTSafe Campus program recognizes colleges and universities that have established a comprehensive, campus-wide initiative for speedy response to sudden cardiac arrest that includes widespread access to CPR and AEDs, trained responders, and active participation in ongoing training and in preventive cardiovascular health activities.
