Five Taking EMT Training for Worth County

Five new people are taking EMT classes to become EMT’s for Worth County. Thursday night was orientation night, and classes will continue through February. They are taught by current EMT’s Jean Hanks, Phillip Hanks, and Sherri Runde. Albany and Stanberry have agreed to provide ride-alongs as part of their training. Prospective EMT’s must pass a state test with a score of at least 80%. The EMT is a volunteer service; the goal is to have at least two people on call at all times.
