Hobart & William Smith Emergency Medical Service New York State Certified - Basic Life Support Non-Transporting Emergency Medical Service serving the HWS community

Since August 2008, the Hobart & William Smith (Colleges) Emergency Medical Service (HWS EMS) has been committed to providing a professional and rapid first response emergency medical service to the community of Hobart & William Smith Colleges, in Geneva, New York. Our Service is founded with a commitment of compassion, professionalism and support to not only the HWS Colleges but also the greater G

eneva community. During the academic year, we are available to respond 24/7 to all emergency medical calls on campus as well as perform standby coverage as requested. Currently, our roster consists of approximately twenty student volunteers. We take responsibility to train and educate all of our members in our methods and procedures. All of our new members go on to receive their New York State Emergency Medical Technician certification. HWS EMS operates as an entirely volunteer, non-charging, non-paid, student run medical service.

Dr. Jeremy T. Cushman, ’96, is the President of the Hobart Alumni Association, an Associate Professor and Chief of the Division of Pre-hospital Medicine at University of Rochester, the EMS Medical Director for Monroe County and the City of Rochester, and is the Acting Commissioner of Public Health for Monroe County. Since 2008 Dr. Cushman has also served as the EMS Medical Director for HWS EMS.

In a recent Pultney Street Survey article, he was quoted as saying, “These students are evaluating patients and providing medical care independently under high ethical and moral standards… Despite the medical lessons learned, I think the life lessons they are able to experience is something that will hopefully contribute to their overall education and make them better people in the end.”

We are truly lucky to have Dr. Cushman’s leadership and expertise at HWS EMS.
