Syracuse University Ambulance, commonly referred to as SUA, is a SU Health Services-based student organization that responds to over 1,500 medical emergencies each year. Providing basic life support, transport, rapid cardiac defibrillation as well as non-emergency transportation, SUA operates two full time ALS-equipped ambulances, a supervisor's fly car and a MCI trailer for multiple casualty incidents. Additionally, SUA operates four transport vans for non-emergency transports. SUA was formed in 1973 by a group of students out of a need for emergency medical services on campus. Starting with only a few members and meager equipment, the Syracuse University Medical Crisis Unit was formed. The organization has evolved greatly over time but remains a student-run organization to this day.

SUA provides emergency and non-emergency services 24-hours a day, 7-days a week during the academic school year and is funded by a portion of the student health fee.
