2025 Summer Program Schedule
Partnership with Brown Emergency Medical Services and The Readmobile
Brown EMS (BEMS) has two emergency response vehicles- the ambulance and the non-transport vehicle named, Utility. Utility can respond to emergencies and provide emergency medical assistance/support while the ambulance is unavailable (while it is with another patient, etc), or to get there quickly while an ambulance is on the way (smaller vehicle, easier to navigate crowds/streets).
Meet Utility, explore the vehicle and learn about our emergency medical staff (and students) at one of the Providence Parks listed below Providence Parks from11:30 am – 2:30 pm.
