The purpose of this grant will be to train candidates to become EMT-Basic employees and community volunteers. According to a January 2020 article published by the National Rural Health Association "One of the universal aspects of the EMS shortage is a death of qualified employees in rural area. There are many reason for this scarcity including low and aging population, a low volume of qualifying runs to earn emergency certification, and struggling economies that force potential volunteers to work more than one job or impact the ability of employers to allow volunteers to train or go on runs." http://www.ruralhealthweb.org/blogs/ruralhealthvoices-Jan2020 Critical Services hang in the balance.
