QC COVID 19 Coalition

The QC COVID-19 Coalition is a collaboration of Quad Cities area health, business, government and emergency management officials working to minimize the risk for community spread of COVID-19.

Would you like to become an EMT and serve your community? MEDIC EMS co-sponsors an evening EMT class with Scott Community College in the Fall of every year. The tuition for EMT candidates living within a community served by our rural ambulance stations is $750 in advance and $1,500  in advance if the candidate resides outside of a community served by our rural ambulance stations. Tuition is refunded to the candidate upon successful completion of the class and required volunteer commitment. For further information please contact Chuck Gipson or Jeremy Pessman at (563) 323-6806.
