On October 23, the National EMS Academy, a sister company to Acadian Ambulance, announced the graduation of a new class of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) from its Houston program. These dedicated individuals have completed a rigorous training program and are now equipped with the essential skills to provide critical care in their communities, school officials said.

New graduates include four students from the Katy area:

· Edwina Brown

· Diego Escobar

· Jude-Ann Gordon

"Graduating from our EMT program is more than completing a course, it’s a commitment to being there when it matters most," said Timothy Dronet, Director of Staffing. "These individuals have shown resilience, compassion, and a readiness to serve. We’re proud to see them step into this vital role and begin making a difference in their communities."

The comprehensive EMT program focuses on essential life-saving techniques, including patient assessment, trauma and airway management, and critical care for cardiovascular and pediatric emergencies. These graduates have received extensive training in providing immediate, high-quality care, a skillset vital for responding to a wide range of emergency situations, officials said.
