Citizens EMS Academy Recap – June 7, 2025
This past Saturday, we had an incredible turnout at our Citizens EMS Academy, and we’re thrilled to share how impactful the day was!
Attendees got a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of the most advanced EMS agencies in Texas—Parker County Hospital District EMS. The day was packed with immersive, hands-on experiences, including a live CPR scenario demonstration conducted by our EMS crews in partnership with the Weatherford Fire Department, simulating a real-time emergency response. Dr. Bertrand, our EMS Medical Director, also provided an in-depth showcase of the advanced field equipment our teams use to save lives in the field. Highlights included the Delta Cooler, which enables crews to carry and transfuse whole blood on-site, the innovative Avive AEDs, and much more cutting-edge technology that supports critical care in emergency situations.
Whether you’re a community member curious about emergency medicine or someone considering a career in healthcare, this program offered a powerful introduction to the tools, people, and heart behind the badge.
Thank you to everyone who participated, and a special shout-out to our dedicated EMS crews and Weatherford Fire Department for making this event a success!
