To this end, many forward thinking members of the medical community, the DLSC, and the citizens at large found that in order to provide and meet the training requirements imposed, it was necessary to establish and maintain a state of the art training center that is recognized and accredited by the Commonwealth. To that end, the Danville Area Training Center, Inc. (DATC) was born. The current trend indicates that many business entities require medical training for their staff. According to our sources, state regulations, along with insurance incentives and mandates, are requiring that businesses and industries provide on-site medically training personnel. The DATC is poised to provide this service to our community, utilizing highly trained and experienced instructors and state of the art equipment and facility. DATC is committed to fostering collaboration, establishing partnerships and working across borders and with many types of organizations to provide the Bridge to the Future of Emergency Medical Services training.
