Heroes in training: EMSA Advantage program offers free EMT training to inspire the next generation of first responders
Real-life superheroes can be found in the form of first responders. Luckily for Tulsa, there is also a superhero academy in the city. EMSA had a big problem during COVID-19, says Adam Paluka, chief public affairs officer.

Instead of relying on external programs to produce qualified EMTs, “we decided to develop EMSA Advantage to ‘grow our own,’” Paluka adds.

OKC Back-to-School Cool
The early days of August are dedicated to soaking up the remnants of a wide-ranging agenda (for the kids, that is) and making the plethora of arrangements needed for the start of a new school year (for the parents). Of course, the months prior were joyous, but as summer vacation closes, a new chapter begins, written with fresh gel pens gently slipped into shiny new binders and carried in the comfort of a whimsical backpack.
