They are ready to begin careers serving their communities after graduating from SIUH’s EMT Scholarship Program in July. Since the program launched in 2021, 59 students have graduated from the EMT Scholarship Program. “Today’s graduation celebrates far more than the completion of a training program,” said Meagan Sills , senior vice president and hospital president of SIUH. Programs like this create meaningful opportunities for members of our community while strengthening the future of emergency medical care.” The scholarship program is made possible through the generosity of the Ollis family, whose ongoing support helps remove financial barriers for individuals pursuing careers in emergency medical services.
