Through a partnership with South Arkansas Community College, MEMS offers college credits at its headquarters for EMT training. Rookie School is usually held twice a year as staffing needs arise.
“We are very proud of the efforts of our graduates and the staff who conducted this eight-week training,” Greg Thompson, executive director of MEMS said. “Our 16 newest EMT’s have answered the call, worked hard, and are now prepared to serve our community with skill and dignity.”
