The University
of Delaware Emergency Care Unit (UDECU) is an award winning, student
run volunteer organization, committed to excellence in its mission
of providing professional emergency medical care to all persons on
the University of Delaware Campus. In addition to serving the UD campus,
UDECU responds to emergencies in the surrounding community of Newark
when needed. 
UDECU responds
to emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Staffed at all times
with a minimum of two Delaware State and Nationally Registered Emergency
Medical Technicians, UDECU EMTs respond to everything from sprained
ankles to cardiac arrests to severe traumas. The dedicated volunteers
of UDECU pride themselves in handling any situation that may arise.
In addition to
handling 911 emergencies, UDECU's ambulance and EMS Bike Team can
be observed providing EMS coverage at special events held on campus,
such as university sporting events, commencement ceremonies and concerts.
UDECU members distinguish themselves by having an EMS display during
several public events such as the annual Newark Community Day, Student
Activities Night, National EMS Week, and other. The Emergency Care
Unit is also among the short list of EMS agencies that are requested
to stand by at events like the Delaware State Fair, the Delaware Special
Olympics Games, and the famous Nascar races at Dover Downs.
UDECU is made
up of approximately fifty undergraduate students with diverse majors
and backgrounds, all with a common goal: serving our community. This
year, UDECU will celebrate its 31st year of operation!
