On Tuesday, November 12, Acadian Ambulance and the National EMS Academy held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the move into our new operations administration building and education facility. The facility allows Acadian to house operations management and education in one place. The operations offices include a station for crews as well as space for the regional operations manager and supervisory staff. The National EMS Academy space includes classrooms and a simulation lab for EMT and Paramedic classes. Thank you to all who joined us despite the gray skies and misty rain, including Lafourche Parish President Archie Chiasson, Thibodaux Mayor Kevin Clement, and Chamber of Commerce President Tammy Ledet. If you're interested in enrolling in EMT or Paramedic classes, visit www.BecomeAMedic.com.

First responders are those whose job is to respond immediately when there is an accident, emergency or threat. Paramedics, EMTs, EMRs, flight paramedics, flight RNs, dispatchers, firefighters, and law enforcement officers are on alert, on call, and always there for us when we need them. We celebrate First Responders Day to give recognition to those who put their lives on the line on a regular basis. If you see a first responder today, thank them for their commitment and dedication.
