CEO Update: January 3, 2025

Paramedic Program Preparations

Last week, I had the privilege of meeting with the dedicated faculty of the Olean site of the Regional Paramedic Program as they finalized preparations for the program's official launch next week. The passion, expertise, and commitment of these educators are truly inspiring, and it’s clear they are deeply invested in the success of their students and the program as a whole.

This program represents a significant milestone for our region. By providing high-quality paramedic education locally, we are not only equipping future paramedics with the knowledge and skills they need to excel but also addressing the critical need for highly trained EMS professionals in our communities.

Strong EMS systems are the backbone of emergency medical care, and this program is a powerful step toward strengthening that foundation. I am confident that the graduates of this program will make a meaningful difference in countless lives.

Thank you to everyone who has played a role in bringing this initiative to fruition. I look forward to celebrating the launch next week and watching the positive impact unfold in the months and years ahead.

Enhancing Our Training Center for the Future

It’s hard to believe we’ve been in our building for over eight years! Over this time, our training center has become a hub of learning, growth, and collaboration. To further enhance this space, we’re excited to announce the addition of two new 85-inch screens.

These upgrades will significantly improve the experience for our trainees, allowing us to better support interactive learning and presentations. This comes just in time for our 2025-2026 Paramedic program, which will be utilizing the training room on a weekly basis.

It’s been incredible to see our rooms being utilized to their fullest capacity, and we’re proud to continue investing in technology that keeps us at the forefront of training excellence. We can’t wait to see the positive impact these enhancements will have on our team and the individuals we serve!
