Freehold Emergency Medical Services and Atlantic Mobile Health, a division of Atlantic Health System, partnered to establish an EMS Training Center for the Greater Freehold region.
The collaboration expands access to high-quality prehospital and EMS training, which will better serve the local community and enhance the preparedness of emergency medical teams.
Through this collaboration, Freehold EMS will leverage the expertise and resources of the Atlantic Mobile Health Training Center to offer a robust array of educational programs to the region.
The new training center will be housed at the state-of-the-art Freehold Emergency Medical Services headquarters, providing a modern facility for EMS professionals. The training programs will be delivered by Atlantic Mobile Health’s Training Center instructors, further solidifying Atlantic Mobile Health’s commitment to high-quality, innovative health care solutions and to building healthier communities through education and collaboration.
The training opportunities will include continuing education classes for EMS professionals as well as an initial Emergency Medical Technician training program. The introduction of these programs comes in response to the increasing demand for certified EMTs across the state but specifically in the greater Freehold area.
By providing local, accessible training, the partnership aims to mitigate the shortage of certified EMTs, ensuring that local response agencies are prepared to deliver critical care in emergency situations.
“This partnership is a direct investment in our local EMS teams and in the health and safety of our neighbors,” David Petersen, director of clinical and quality education for Atlantic Mobile Health, said. “By delivering these training programs, we are helping to build stronger, more resilient communities while addressing urgent workforce needs in the EMS field.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Atlantic Mobile Health to bring this important training resource to Freehold,” Jeremy Hoffman, chief of Freehold EMS, said. “This center will play a crucial role in developing a well-trained EMS workforce, enhancing the level of care we provide, and ensuring the safety and well-being of our community.”
