County EMS visits Muhlenberg Job Corps

On Jan. 29, Johnny Hocker of the Muhlenberg County Emergency Medical Services (EMS), visited the Muhlenberg Job Corps Center health career students to discuss the role of EMS is responding to medical emergencies. Hocker explained to the students that EMS is an emergency medical care service to maintain and enhance the local community’s health and safety. Though, EMS is most easily recognized when emergency vehicles or helicopters are seen responding to an emergency incident, the local EMS is always ready to respond to every kind of emergency. The students were able to go through the ambulance, and they asked many questions about the medical equipment.

The Muhlenberg Job Corps works closely with local emergency responders for special informational sessions such as this and participation in the center's annual Safety & Health Fair.
