HVA seeks volunteers, offers free responder training for 2016

Huron Valley Ambulance, a member of Emergent Health Partners, is recruiting for its Volunteer Team and looking for people interested in training for a variety of volunteer positions.
A volunteer can train to be an emergency medical responder at special events or to assist with community education, awareness programs, or administrative tasks.
Emergent Health volunteers may serve in any of HVA’s service area — Washtenaw, western Wayne or southwest Oakland counties, as well as volunteer at University of Michigan football games and other large events in southeast and south central Michigan.
