OAK CREEK, WI — Superior Air-Ground Ambulance Service of Wisconsin, Inc., in partnership with its affiliate Life Support Training Institute (LSTI), hosted a graduation ceremony Wednesday to recognize 12 new emergency medical technicians (EMTs) who will begin full-time service with Superior Ambulance.
The ceremony marks an important milestone for the graduates who have completed rigorous hands-on training and are now stepping into critical roles on the front lines of emergency medical response across the region.
“This graduating class represents the future of emergency medical services in Wisconsin,” said Kim Godden, Vice President of Superior Ambulance. “With EMS systems nationwide under strain from workforce shortages, these new EMTs are helping ensure that patients receive fast, skilled care when it matters most, and that our communities get the services they need.”
The event also highlights Superior Ambulance’s commitment to building career pathways through education, training, and job placement, ensuring local residents have access to stable, high-demand healthcare careers while addressing urgent workforce needs.
Wisconsin State Representative Kalan Haywood (D-16) attended the graduation and addressed the class, congratulating the new EMTs and recognizing Superior Ambulance and LSTI’s workforce training efforts.
“This graduating class reflects what’s possible when we invest in people and create real pathways into meaningful careers,” said Rep. Haywood. “Programs like this not only address workforce shortages, they open doors for individuals across our communities to serve and lead.”
Superior and LSTI’s education-to-career model has become a vital pipeline for developing skilled first responders, connecting students directly to employment opportunities and supporting broader conversations around workforce development and healthcare access.
