Administration Turns
Down Emergy-Care
by Gary Johnson
The Collegian
Behrend students may not have a
choice when it comes to who
will transport them to local
hospitals when they are injured
After several years of
cooperation with Emergy-Care,
a non-profit ambulance service
in Erie, the Behrend
administration has decided not to
allow Emergy-Care the chance
to offer students special rates on
their ambulance service.
The offer of Emergy-Care
services at these rates is
information which is not easily
accessed by the majority of
Behrend students.
According to the administra
tion, the misunderstanding that
Emergy-Care would not respond
to calls from Behrend because of
the recent denial of services to
Behrend, is just that, a
misunderstanding.
Emergy-Care Paramedics
respond to calls at Behrend,
which have the potential to be
life threatening.
The paramedics are able to
provide a level of advanced life
support which Emergency
Medical Technicians are not
trained for.
They (the paramedics) work in
cooperation with the Brookside
Fire Company which is only
licensed to provide basic life
support.
Emergy-Care charges a fee
only when the paramedic must
accompany the patient to the
hospital in the ambulance.
They (the administration)
said they had adequate
coverage for the
students andfelt that -
they were in no need of
our services."

If the patient is a member of
Emergy-Care, then their
insurance company will
automatically be billed for the
service. If the insurance
company doesn't pay the full
amount, the member is not
required to reimburse the
company for the remaining
amount.
In the case that the patient is
not covered by Emergy-Care,
then the full bill is sent to

Bruno's was created in the
Spring of 1991 due to
complaints from students that
there was nothing to do on the
weekends on campus.
The Student Programming
Council, Housing and Food
Services, and Student Affairs
negotiated and came up with the
idea for Bruno's.
Chris Hilden, president of the

said, "In Bruno’s there is a
terrific schedule of events."
"For the first time in Bruno’s
history there is consistency and

better if there was a better
attendance," said Shawn Davis,

"I like the atmosphere at

appeal to a wide range of
students."
