GEORGETOWN EMS

The Georgetown Emergency Response Medical Service (also known as GERMS or Georgetown EMS) is an all-volunteer, student-run emergency ambulance service. GERMS operates basic life support ambulances that serve Georgetown University and the broader Georgetown community. GERMS is in service during Georgetown's Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. When GERMS is out of service over select holidays, Georgetown University contacts District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services to respond to medical emergencies... GERMS should be called when a person in the Georgetown, Burleith, Foxhall, or Glover Park community is suffering from a medical emergency and needs transport to a nearby hospital (MedStar Georgetown, George Washington, or Sibley Memorial). Our emergency services are free to all our patients... GERMS is a volunteer, student-run emergency medical service. We are made up of around 50-70 Georgetown University undergraduates who are nationally certified EMTs.
