Fort Smith EMS Makes Donation to ATU-Ozark

Arkansas Tech University-Ozark Campus has received a $15,000 in-kind donation from Forth Smith Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

Fort Smith EMS donated a Stryker Power Cot and a Stryker Stair Chair. EMS and paramedic students will use the donations at ATU-Ozark training sites.
