A tremendous turnout. 454 individuals paid a visit to our event. Most of the county's units were on hand to meet and greet our public, our fellow providers and those intrested in beginning a career in EMS. We were live on the air with Phil Liles on WQIC radio and received coverage from the Lebanon Daily News.
We offer a special thank you to Phil Liles our long time radio host and the EHSF and the Good Samaritan Health System for their support of our EMS Week program.
