Launch Mobile EMS Training Program
Description
Launch a mobile Emergency Medical Services (EMS) training program to increase access to hands-on training for AFD and EMS staff across Akron.
Why is This Important
When EMS personnel have regular access to high-quality training, they are better prepared to respond when residents need them most. The mobile training program brings instruction directly to staff, removing barriers and strengthening emergency response capabilities citywide.
