🚑🎉 PARAMEDIC ACCREDITATION SITE VISIT — SUCCESS! 🎉🚑

What a great couple of days! A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who came out to meet with our peer review team and show your support for Three Rivers College, our students, and our Paramedic Program. ❤️

Your support, encouragement, and willingness to share your experiences truly made a difference.

They say “it takes a village to raise a child,” but I believe it takes a VILLAGE to grow a PARAMEDIC! And I can honestly say… we have the BEST of the BEST village! 💙🚑

I am incredibly proud of what we have built together and, most importantly, proud of the students who are working so hard to become the next generation of paramedics.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in us, and investing in our students. This program is stronger because of YOU! ❤️

Today, we mourn the loss of Coach Gene Bess, a Hall of Fame coach, mentor, friend, and one of the most influential figures in the history of Three Rivers College.

Over 50 seasons, Coach Bess built a basketball program that became known across the nation, winning more games than any college basketball coach in history and leading the Raiders to two national championships. But his greatest legacy extends far beyond the court.

Coach Bess cared deeply about his players, this college, his family, and his faith. He mentored and inspired generations of students, helping shape lives both during their years as Raiders and long after they left Three Rivers.

His impact can be seen throughout our campus, our community, and in the countless lives he touched along the way.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Nelda, Brian, Janell, and the entire Bess family during this difficult time.

Thank you, Coach. Your legacy will live on, and you will be deeply missed.

💛🖤
