[MENA, Ark.] Through the generosity of Robby and Sherri Hines, the Southwest EMS Endowment Scholarship Fund was established through the Rich Mountain Community College Foundation. Both Robby and Sherri are graduates of the EMT program at Rich Mountain Community College and started the SWEMS Ambulance Service years ago.
Southwest EMS is a locally owned ambulance service that serves the residents of Crawford County, Alma, Scott County, Montgomery County, Polk County, and Sevier County with ALS Ambulance Care.
The Hines are firm believers in education and passionate about providing exceptional patient care. Through the endowment, they have established scholarships to assist students in Polk, Scott, and Montgomery counties who aspire to have a career in the health care field as an EMT, CNA, or LPN and are passionate about providing a high level of quality care to patients. The recipients of the Southwest EMS Endowment Scholarships for the spring 2015 semester are: Brittany Dulany, Janet Marcentel, and Debra Drye.
