"Emergency Medical Services is the cornerstone of public safety.

It's imperative that we recruit individuals who have the passion and commitment to care for people. A program such as EmergyCare's EMT Academy provides a career path for those individuals who have the drive to help others." — Dave Basnak, President and Executive Director of EmergyCare.
