The graduation ceremony will be held at 404 Missile Base Rd. in the Twiggs County Industrial Park.
The class was funded by a competitive grant from the Georgia Trauma Commission through the Georgia Association of Emergency Medical Services. Twiggs County was selected because of its highly rural setting and lack of a county hospital.
EMS at MCCG is currently hosting a similar first responder class in Jones County.
