EMT Ben Everhart
Ben’s passion for EMS started at a young age, inspired by his father, who was among the first Paramedics in Huntingdon County. A 4th-generation member of the fire service, Ben began as a junior firefighter with SVFD in 1996, started driving ambulances at 19, became an EMR in 2018, and earned his EMT certification in 2025.
His favorite part of the job is knowing he was able to help someone on one of the worst days of their life. Ben is passionate about caring for those in need and enjoys working alongside his wife, who also fell in love with EMS after being introduced to the field by him.
Outside of HAA, Ben works full-time at Penn Highlands Huntingdon as the Maintenance/Security Supervisor. He and his wife of 16 years have three children, and he is also a life member of Huntingdon Regional Fire/Rescue.
