Answering the Call: Newark EMS Corps

Chyna Renèe Weathers joined the EMS Corps EMT program to gain more than just career skills and to find a sense of purpose. “EMS Corps has positively impacted me in ways that go beyond just gaining the skills that will get me the career I want,” she said. She learned to make rapid decisions under pressure, communicate with patients and their loved ones and build strong relationships with her EMS Corps family. “This program has created a supportive environment that encouraged me to push beyond my limits, teaching us to not be discouraged because of where we come from but proud of who we are going to be.”
