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,

The new donation adds up to $750 more per student who agrees to work for any ambulance service in Washington County.
A new EMT class starts in Washington in January. For more details or to enroll, prospective students can contact AEMT Caroline Scoville at the City of Washington at 785-325-2284.
