Students and observers were spellbound earlier this month during an initial welcoming lecture by EMS Director Buffy Witt at the start of a five-month Emergency Medical Technicians class at Lake City Area Medical Center. A total of seven students are enrolled in class which began last Tuesday, January 9, and continues with classroom instruction on a weekly basis from now until June, after which students prior to certification will complete required clinicals.
Seven apt students enrolled in the class are Eric Barker, Sarah Decristino, Kelly Elkins, Eli Loper, Grant Loper, Roxanne Loper, and Danny Oge, shown above in photo by Katherine Heidt with EMTs Dan Humphreys and Amanda Hartman, foreground, who are among those on tap to assist with EMT instruction during the class. Others who will be assisting with classroom instruction are Andrew Spangler, from Pagosa Springs, together with locals including Rachel Moore, Melody Crump, Leslie Nichols, and Sara Barker.
Early word on this winter’s EMT enrollees is that they are enthused and are imminently up to the hard study ahead.
