Welcome to the Student Association Volunteer Ambulance Corps of Oswego, Inc. (S.A.V.A.C.).  S.A.V.A.C. was formed in 1971 and was the first completely student run ambulance corps in the nation.  For more on the history of S.A.V.A.C., click here.

S.A.V.A.C. is the primary EMS provider for the Oswego State campus when in-service.  We are a New York State Department of Health certified Basic Life Support (BLS) Ambulance.  We also provide mutual aid to Oswego City and Oswego Town when needed.  The S.A.V.A.C. ambulance is staffed by at least one NYS certified EMT who is trained as a S.A.V.A.C. attendant, and a driver. For more on the services we provide click on Services link on the left side.

Interested in becoming an NYS Emergency Medical Technician? The EMT class (HSC300) is offered on-campus, for four credit hours.  The next class will be offered in the Fall 2008 semester, tentatively in the Tuesday-Thursday 2:20pm-3:40pm timeslot, with a 5pm-8pm lab session on Thursdays.  The course will be taught by retired Oswego Fire Department Paramedic Mark Murray.
