Mission Statement
The nation’s first multi-racial volunteer ambulance corps, BSVAC – popularly known as the People’s EMS – has been providing emergency medical services and training programs since 1988. BSVAC’s mission is two-fold: to save lives (through its neighborhood first responder station and its ambulance service) and to change lives (through its emergency medical training programs). At BSVAC, we are saving lives today and building lives for tomorrow. • We save lives • We grow heroes
About This Cause
The centerpiece of BSVAC’s activities is its volunteer ambulance service. BSVAC has been the busiest volunteer ambulance service of its size in the nation, responding on average to more than 1,200 calls per year. In order to run the ambulance service, trained volunteers must be available. It was this need for trained volunteers that led to the development of BSVAC’s emergency medical training programs. From its inception, BSVAC has been committed to training community residents in life-saving emergency medical skills. Thus, there is a critical synergy between the two components of BSVAC’s mission: by training individuals to deliver emergency medical care, BSVAC “grows” the trained volunteers it needs to run its ambulance service. In addition, by providing training, BSVAC enables its volunteers to secure employment in the emergency medical services field.
