| Investing in the Future of EMS! 🚑 Over the past few weeks, Mastic Volunteer Ambulance Company was proud to host our Youth Summer Series at our headquarters, giving local youth a hands-on introduction to Emergency Medical Services. Throughout the program, our students learned about ambulance operations, splinting, Stop the Bleed, Narcan administration, allergic reactions and asthmatic emergencies, strokes, diabetic emergencies, heart attacks, and much more. Each student also successfully completed training and became certified in First Aid and CPR! 👏 This program was about more than simply learning new skills. It gave these young people an opportunity to see firsthand what EMS is all about, learn from our providers, ask questions, and gain valuable knowledge that could someday help them save a life. These young people are the future of our community and potentially the future of EMS. We are incredibly proud of everyone who participated and grateful for the opportunity to introduce them to the rewarding world of emergency medical services. Whether they choose EMS as a future career or simply take the skills they learned with them throughout life, we hope this experience made a lasting impact. Thank you to all of our instructors and members who helped make the Youth Summer Series possible, and congratulations to all of our students on completing the program! 🚑❤️ The future of EMS starts with inspiring the next generation. |
