RPI Ambulance

With a new ambulance in service and a new station in Crockett Hall, the next step is clear.
For over 10 years, our first response vehicle, 5959, has helped RPI Ambulance answer the call. Now, it has reached the end of its service life. Replacing it will give our crews the reliability they need to respond quickly, move safely, and continue providing excellent service throughout the RPI community.
Help us stay ready to answer the call: visit the link in our bio to learn more and consider making a gift.

Instead of this month, we'd like to take the time to feature our officers for the upcoming semester.

Today, we're featuring Lily Schwedhelm and Joe Bowers, the President and Vice President of RPI Ambulance.

Together, Lily and Joe make up the Civil Side of RPI Ambulance, meaning they handle our administrative tasks including finances, public relations, and keeping our five-year plan up to date.

When they're not juggling spreadsheets, emails, or meetings, Lily and Joe make sure RPI Ambulance stays organized, supported, and consistently moving forward. They are both deeply committed to keeping our organization strong, welcoming, and ready to serve the RPI community, whether that means advocating for resources, improving our efficiency, or finding new ways to support our members.

We're incredibly lucky to have their leadership this semester, and we're excited for everything they have planned going forward! 🚑🚨💙

🚨 Winter Weather Safety Tips 🚨
Hypothermia can set in quickly. Watch for shivering, confusion, slurred speech, and extreme fatigue. Get inside as soon as possible and seek medical help if symptoms arise. The storm may look stunning, but enjoy the beautiful weather from a distance in the coming days.
Roads are icy, temperatures are dropping, and weather conditions can change fast.
❄️ Dress in layers, limit time outdoors, and stay dry during the bad winter weather! ❄️
