Photos: TEMS cares for the campus
Student volunteers, all of them undergraduates, are what make the Tulane Emergency Medical Service (TEMS) so important to the campus community. The nonprofit ambulance service based on the Tulane uptown campus offers emergency medical services and transport to New Orleansâ“area hospitals free of charge for Tulane or Loyola university students, staff or faculty members, guests or affiliates.
Last semester, the Undergraduate Student Government approved a request to purchase a new TEMS ambulance, which is scheduled to arrive in September, the busiest month of the year for the service.
Among the TEMS student leaders are supervisors Tom Gilder, left, and Ryan Martin, right. All TEMS members are licensed and trained emergency medical technicians, operating under the medical direction of Dr. James Farrow, professor and executive director of the Uptown Student Health Center.
Members of TEMS 2012-2013 executive board are, from left, Hannah Gilder, at-large member; Annie Harding, director of personnel; Cody Foster, director of operations; Chloe Renshaw, director of training; Bijan Rizi, director; Nick Stathopoulos, director of finance; and D.J. Piazza, at-large member.
