The City of Oswego has partnered with the Student Association (SA) of SUNY Oswego to help maintain ambulance coverage on campus while the Student Association Volunteer Ambulance Corporation (SAVAC) Ambulance is being repaired. A reserve ambulance from the Oswego Fire Department fleet has been temporarily reassigned and loaned to SAVAC to allow for uninterrupted EMS coverage on the SUNY Oswego Campus. This temporary no-cost loan agreement allows for the Student Association to maintain transporting ambulance capabilities and sporting event coverage on campus. This agreement also returns a favor to SAVAC as the Oswego Fire Department borrowed their ambulance under similar circumstances during the Covid-19 Epidemic.
City of Oswego Mayor Robert Corradino stated: “The university and city have worked well together for many years and this is one more example of that partnership. I’m very happy that we can assist SAVAC to continue providing important life saving services to the campus.”
SUNY Oswego President Peter O. Nwosu stated: “On behalf of SUNY Oswego, I extend our heartfelt gratitude for the city’s continued partnership and support. This thoughtful gesture reflects our ongoing mutual commitment to ensuring the safety of our community. I sincerely thank Mayor Corradino, Chief Conzone, and all those involved in making this possible.”
City of Oswego Fire Chief Paul Conzone stated: “Loaning SAVAC one of our reserve ambulances allows for continued life saving service to the students and faculty on the SUNY Oswego Campus. We appreciate the partnership we have with SUNY Oswego and SAVAC, and we are happy to repay a favor with this temporary agreement.”
