WASHINGTON COUNTY, Kan. — An anonymous donor is helping reduce the cost of EMT education in Washington County, easing a major barrier for future emergency responders.
EMT training typically costs about $2,000 for a four-month course. A rural ambulance service education grant already offers up to $1,150 for students who commit to working one year for that service, KCLY reported.
