GERMS Featured in 2010 GU Campus Plan

Projected map of GU based on 2010-2020 Campus Plan

Today, University leaders filed Georgetown’s 2010-2020 campus plan with the District of Columbia Zoning Commission, outlining modest proposals for growth within existing campus boundaries over the next decade.  Under D.C. law, Georgetown must file a campus plan every ten years to outline future Main Campus and Medical Center infrastructure projects and development.  Within the document, Georgetown University referenced GERMS specifically as a community resource that benefits all members of the Georgetown community, including students, faculty, staff, visitors, neighbors, and the District of Columbia at large.  The document reads,

"Student community activities likewise benefit the community in many, often unnoticed, ways. A notable example is GERMS (Georgetown Emergency Response Medical Service), a Georgetown University student-run volunteer ambulance organization that serves the Georgetown community, offering – entirely free of charge – 24/7, year-round rapid-response medical services, treatment and transport. GERMS responds to over 1,000 calls annually."

We are honored to have been mentioned in this extremely important document that will ultimately shape the future of Georgetown's campus modification over the next ten years.  We are also proud to say that we have been serving the Georgetown community (and beyond!) for 29 years, and we intend to continue to do so well into the future!  To read the entire campus plan submitted to the D.C.
