Students from several fields of study participate in the training, including Nursing, EMT, and Paramedic students. The training also receives support from area healthcare providers and area emergency services.

According to the National Weather Service, showers are likely after 11 a.m. tomorrow with a 70% chance of precipitation. Thunderstorms are possible in the evening as well.
