Congratulations to Chris Peischl, our outstanding adjunct faculty and our dedicated EMS agencies on the successful completion of our Spring 2026 EMT Class! Thanks to your dedication, expertise and commitment to student success, this spring's class achieved a 100% pass rate on their psychomotor exam. We are proud to recognize five of these new graduates are now newly nationally certified EMT's who have also passed the national cognitive exam!

As EMS Week ends, we also celebrate and thank all of our EMI educators, staff and medical director!

The Emergency Medicine Institute is growing! In addition to our ALS Clinical Position, we are also adding an EMS Program Coordinator position!

The Emergency Medicine Institute at LVHN is seeking a motivated and dedicated coordinator to support our Paramedic and PHRN programs. This role will play a key part in the continued growth and success of our educational offerings while also assisting with a variety of EMI-related functions as needed.

We are looking for a dynamic, enthusiastic and self-driven individual who thrives in a collaborative yet autonomous work environment. The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in advancing pre-hospital care and a passion for supporting the education and development of EMS providers.

The Stop the Bleed class was recently presented for the Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) Club at Notre Dame High School, East Stroudsburg. This club is geared for students interested in pursuing careers in medicine after graduation.

The program was led by the Lehigh Valley Hospital - Pocono Injury Prevention Coordinator Jamie Chase. The education focused on teaching lifesaving emergency skills. Students learned how to control severe bleeding by applying direct pressure, using wound-packing techniques and properly placing tourniquets.

This presentation provided important medical knowledge and practical skills that could help save lives in emergency situations while inspiring students to continue exploring healthcare careers.

We’ll never forget!

Merry Christmas from our staff! Wishing all EMS providers a happy, healthy and safe holiday season. Thank you for everything you do - today and always!

Last evening, the 54th Paramedic Program graduated 29 students. To date, 20 out of 29 of the students are now certified paramedics. The dedication, resilience and commitment to excellence has prepared each of them to serve their communities. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Andre Harris, recipient of the Preceptor of the Year Award for outstanding mentorship and support of our students in the field and to Amanda Yanisch, recipient of the Adjunct Faculty Award for exceptional dedication to the education of our students. Lastly, thank you to all of our EMS precepting agencies, adjunct faculty and clinical preceptors for your support in the education of the paramedics of yesterday, today and the future!

Please join us in celebrating the graduation of the GEM-EMI 2025 Paramedic Class tonight at 6:45 pm!
