Community Paramedicine Certification Program at Seminole State College of Florida

Our Paramedic Interns had the opportunity to tour the incredible new Center for Women and Babies at Orlando Health Lake Mary Hospital this week while preparing new clinical opportunities.

This Orlando Health facility is absolutely phenomenal. The new Labor & Delivery area was clearly designed with both patient comfort and high-level care in mind. From the private labor suites to the advanced monitoring technology and family-centered design, it is easy to see the amount of thought that went into creating this space. One of the best parts of what we do in EMS education is building partnerships that allow our interns to learn in real-world environments alongside outstanding healthcare professionals. Experiences like this help prepare future paramedics to better care for mothers, newborns, and families during some of the most important moments of their lives.

A huge thank you to Rose Palmer MSN, RN, RNC-OB, CNML, Director of Operations for the Center for Women and Babies, for taking the time to show us around, answer questions, and help accommodate our program. Your support and enthusiasm for education truly means a lot.
