MISSION STATEMENT:
To provide quality education support in the form of ongoing mandatory re-certification programs, continuing education offerings, assistance with training programs and bridge courses. We maintain a resource library of training aids and an up-to-date source for training mannequins and materials. We do needs assessments and work to provide whatever training or education is requested by the units. Our primary focus is to support the voluntary E.M.S. agencies, but all programs are open to appropriate individuals of other agencies or the general public as space is available. Assist with coordination of E.M.S. providers with other programs offered, including Bioterrorism, Mass Casualty, and Weapons of Mass Destruction.
