Instructor BIO:

Diane Hoppmann's larger scale impressionistic paintings are inspired by a heightened sensitivity to nature's changing light,color and atmospheric conditions in the Ozarks. She spends much of her time immersed in the landscape, observing flowing creeks and rivers, foliage reflections and shifting patterns of wind and water on the lake. Diane describes this experience as"Being Home."

Painting allows her to transfer the tranquil observations into the perfect balance of composition, shape, perspective and color while escaping into a peaceful and safe emotional space.

  Our missions with Rural Community EMS:

  “We will do our best to ensure timely and life-saving care in remote areas. ‘We care. For everyone.”

       The Rural Community EMS course is a forty-hour course taught in eight five-hour sessions from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month ( excluding December) at Arkansas State University at Mountain Home. The course is taught by Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Personnel and is designed to increase public awareness and understanding of the services provided to patients and communities through Emergency Medical Services (EMS), and to certify course participants in basic life support ( BLS), CPR, and AED.

   

  EMS  services function by providing emergency medical care to people who have had a sudden or serious injury or illness, or who have suffered major trauma. Access to EMS is critical for rural residents with pre-hospital service needs.

   

  Through lesson presentations and hands-on skill stations, participants will learn how to access help in the event of a life-threatening emergency and what to do until more qualified EMS arrives.

   

  This course covers activating the 911 system,  CPR and AED, responding to life-threatening bleeding, penetrating trauma, moving patients to safety, positioning injured patients, airway, respiratory & ventilation, cardiovascular emergencies, individual patient assessment, ethics, operations, and communications. 

   

  The Rural Community EMS program courses will meet the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) requirements for continuing education credits.

  Program completion will qualify participants to take the Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) exam, through National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT), which is a national certification for individuals providing immediate life-saving care. 

   

  Passing the EMR exam allows individuals to work as first responders in various settings, including assisting EMTs and Paramedics. 

   

  All program participants will be encouraged to pursue additional training in EMT-Basic and Paramedic certification through the curriculum offered at Arkansas State University at Mountain Home in Health Sciences.
