Woman grateful to join local EMS squad

Woman grateful to join local EMS squad

RANDOLPH - Kayla Korth has always been grateful for the local EMS squad, but as the newest member she has a newfound admiration for those she serves alongside. "Each of the members on the squad are very helpful and give advice when needed and teach as we go; I cannot thank them enough for accepting me and leading by example," Korth said. "It has been a great experience to help the people of our community or those traveling through in their most critical times of need." Korth already works in the medical field as a speech language pathologist so it wasn’t too large of a leap to EMT. A lifelong resident of Randolph, she also isn't shy about helping her community. "It is a joy to assist the people I have known my whole life and also new members to the community and be a person they can feel comfortable with," she said. Korth attended an online, accelerated EMT course through the School of EMS with hands-on skills days hosted by her employer, Providence Medical Center in Wayne. After the four-month course, Korth passed a written exam and a skills assessment. She was also required to complete 120 hours of "ride time" on the ambulance to practice skills and training with assistance from other licensed EMTs. 05/24/2023 12:00 AM

In August of 1942, another railroad curtails service

August brought more bad news on the railroad front.
