A Day in The Life of an Air Care EMT
It’s only natural that I would end up choosing a career as an EMT, especially considering my dad was a firefighter. I guess it runs in the family. I can honestly say, though, that there is nothing else I’d rather do than what I get to do every day as an EMT for the Orlando Health Air Care Team and the Orlando Fire Department.

Being the first to arrive on scene when someone’s been hurt or suddenly gotten sick, you have to think fast and act fast. And to do that, you have to remain calm when the stress level is at its highest. Throughout the course of my career, I’m grateful that I’ve been able to do this consistently.
