Penn State University Ambulance Service

Penn State University Ambulance Service Emergency Medical Service As part of the Centre County EMS system, UAS also provides mutual aid to surrounding EMS agencies and townships.

Founded in 1956, the Penn State University Ambulance Service (UAS) is a 24/7 emergency medical service providing emergency 911 coverage to University Park, PA. UAS is comprised of both students and administrators who are dedicated to making a positive contribution to the Penn State campus and its surrounding areas through round-the-clock emergency care, community outreach, and continuing education opportunities. Ambulance crews are staffed with Penn State students who are certified EMS providers in the State of Pennsylvania. Students begin at UAS as probationary volunteer EMTs who strive to complete the volunteer program and be promoted to paid crew members. In addition to our regular crew of student EMTs, the University Ambulance Service (UAS) hires a dedicated cohort of event staff who assist with staffing needs to provide patient care at a variety of events on campus. The service operates three ambulances, and has an assortment of utility vehicles for use during special events. UAS responds to approximately 1400 incidents annually. In addition to 911 coverage, UAS provides EMS standby coverage to special events such as THON, concerts at the Bryce Jordan Center, PA Special Olympics, and to all PSU NCAA sporting events including football at Beaver Stadium, one of the largest stadiums in the world. UAS represents the oldest and largest collegiate ambulance service in the country; we strive to to be "there when you need us", and we are... Penn State! If you are interested in joining UAS, please contact us for instructions on how to apply.

I am heartbroken to pass along the very sad news that Rich Kelley, EMS Director at MNMC died last evening at MNMC. He was transported from the Howard Fire Company to MNMC where he died in the Emergency Department.

Rich spent time as the Operations Director at Bellefonte EMS, he was Centre LifeLink’s (then Alpha Community Ambulance Service) Operations Supervisor from 11/9/2000 to 11/29/2002 and has been with the MNMC ALS Programs since. Rich also served as a flight medic as well as Centre County Coroner for a short period of time. He was also a firefighter.

Rich was not only a colleague but also a very good friend to so many people in our public safety community. He was an amazing advocate for EMS and mentor to countless young EMTs and paramedics. Our community lost a great man.

Please keep his wife Teresa and children as well as his other family, friends, and co-workers in your thoughts and prayers.
