 When treating a two millimeter lesion, every pixel of what I'm treating matters. At the PMC loss and cancer center, our true beam linear accelerator allows even the smallest areas to be precisely targeted. Our purpose is saving lives. Pikeville Medical Center has recently been awarded a grant from SAMHSA that will allow them to host weekly EMT training courses. The evening courses are being conducted by the Pikeville Fire Department and will accommodate any who need flexible hours to participate. Anyone can join the program free of charge. We got a grant through our hard work of our grant department. We obtained a grant that has allowed us to buy some much needed medical equipment for our community responders as well as staff and teach a EMT class to 36 successful candidates over the course of the year that will allow us more people in our community that have the tools and now the knowledge in order to be able to provide care to their family, their friends, their neighbors until the EMS can arrive. PMC is seeking to relieve the shortage of emergency workers in eastern Kentucky. The program also advertises the wide variety of work available to those who obtain their EMT license. Our grant is for 36. We're almost there with this first class so you know anybody that's interested in it you need to be reaching out to Mitch Case at the Pikeville Fire Department and getting him your information so that he can be putting you on the roster so that we can see how many we're going to have and yeah we structured the class you know it's two nights a week I think they're running Mondays and Thursdays if I'm not mistaken. You can work in doctor's offices yes you can be on the road in emergency medical services which is a great thing you know to know that you got to somebody in Phillips got them packages loaded and provided the care that they needed that sustained them till you could get them to our emergency department you know it's a very rewarding field you know the mines the mines use what they call METs which is a lot of along the same line so somebody could have the EMT training and go into the mines if they so chose so there's just there's so many opportunities in the medical field for these positions.
