and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths."

Proverbs 3:5-6

I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. - Matthew 25:36 (NIV)

Emergency Medical Services is a commendable and rewarding field. There is no higher calling than to save a life, and to serve our fellow man. Whether it’s providing emergency care to a heart-attack victim, assisting a child injured in an automobile accident, or providing supportive compassion by holding the hand of an elderly medical or trauma patient, an EMT provides physical, emotional and spiritual assistance at a critical time.

Careers in this Field:

Emergency Medical Technician
Paramedic (with further training)
In-House Emergency Technician
911 Dispatcher

The EMT program is a one-year course that will comprise the first year (Level 1) of the Criminal Justice program. The program can also be taken singularly without enrolling and continuing with the Criminal Justice program.

This program is designed to equip students with the skills required to obtain an entry-level position with an ambulance service, hospital, extended care facility, home visitor facility and other entitites. Based on the demographics of this area, the need for qualified EMT's is extensive. Instruction will be designed to meet the curriculum requirements necessary to qualify students to pass the Pennsylvania Department of Health practical and written examinations.

Those who successfully complete this training and pass the certifications will receive the state certification as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). This certification will transfer to an EMT license. Pennsylvania guidelines require that students must be at least 16 years of age when they begin EMT training.

BIBLICAL INTEGRATION – CHRISTIAN SERVICE ASSIGNMENT

And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. - Luke 10: 30, 33-34 (KJV)

Christ commands, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40). It is this scripture that forms the compassionate basis for our community service projects. Students will participate in outreach opportunities in conjunction with local emergency health care agencies, nursing homes and ministries. It is our sincere hope to benefit our fellow man by sharing our time and talents.
