Event Staffing

In addition to emergency response, SLU EMS provides medical stand-by services to a variety of campus events. Historically, these have ranged from large gatherings including Spring Fest, Folk Fest, and Raft Day to high-risk sporting events such as rugby games and riding shows. If your group is looking for EMS coverage for an event, then you are in the right place!

What We Provide:

• Peace of mind for event organizers and attendees that medical care will be quick and professional
• A minimum of two people staffed for the crew (typically one EMT and one Emergency Responder)
• At least one New York State certified EMT-Basic
• All crew members trained and certified in AHA CPR/AED, Stop The Bleed, and Basic Life Support

Requirements:

• We require two weeks prior notice for any event
• We require organizers to provide us with our own table and three chairs
• We require 15 minutes of set-up time prior to the event's commencement, as well as 15 minutes of clean-up time following the event's conclusion

Payment:

While our emergency response is entirely free, we do charge for stand-by services. We only charge this fee to cover the cost of paying our providers. As such, our general fee is $10.20 USD/hour/provider. A basic stand-by with one EMT and one Emergency Responder would thus cost $20.40 USD/hour.

Instructions:

• To request a SLU EMS stand-by crew, please fill out this form
• After the form is received and processed, a meeting will be scheduled with a SLU EMS Officer to discuss the needs for the event
• If the event is cancelled, you must notify SLU EMS by email (sluems@stlawu.edu). Failure to promptly notify us regarding a cancellation may result in a penalty fee.
