Chatham Emergency Services recently donated an ambulance to Woodville Tompkins Technical and Career High School. CES’s CEO Chuck Kearns delivered the ambulance to the school and met with school officials to discuss how the ambulance will play a role in the education of various students.

The school’s Medical and Allied Health Program was created for students who are interested in pursuing a career in first response. These students will use the ambulance to see firsthand the various components of the vehicle and how the equipment plays a role in lifesaving techniques and capabilities. The automotive department of the school will also use the ambulance to explore the mechanics of the truck.

“We’re happy to donate this ambulance to assist in the education of students who are interested in emergency medical services and want to pursue a career as an EMT or Paramedic,” said Kearns. “Chatham Emergency Services proudly supports Savannah Chatham Public Schools and its efforts to provide hands on training and education to build and sustain the future workforce of the healthcare industry."
