Happy Emergency Medical Services (EMS) week to all who serve.

This week, PVCC joins communities across the country in recognizing those who are often the first point of contact in emergencies, providing critical medical care, reassurance and advocacy during some of life’s most difficult moments.

PVCC is proud to play a part in preparing and educating the next generation of EMTs, AEMTs and paramedics who will go on to serve the community with skill, compassion and dedication.

We are especially grateful for the students, alumni, faculty, preceptors and field providers who support EMS education and patient care every day.
