PROGRAM: Dr. Jack Wortman, was our guest speaker; and spoke about healthcare history in Hutchinson. In the 1960’s, the local ambulance was dispatched from McVay’s garage with a cot and oxygen tank as the only equipment. The Korean War changed things by developing out of hospital care. The ambulance service was advanced by a cooperative effort of the City of Hutchinson, Reno County and Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. Ambulance attendants (EMT) now have 83 hours of college level training. Paramedics have 2 full years of college level training plus required working hours. Communications and effective community health care are vastly improved today.
