🚨 Attention, all Capital Community College Paramedic Program Alumni! 🚨

2026 will mark 40 years (🤯) since the first cohort of Capital Paramedics graduated from the Saint Francis Hospital / Hartford State Technical College EMS education partnership.

65 cohorts and nearly 1,500 graduates later, we are gearing up to celebrate numerous milestones in 2026! One exciting highlight will include the ongoing renovations to our new state-of-the-art EMS lab 🚑

The ask: Help us decorate our new space!

In addition to dedicated classroom, laboratory, and simulation space, there will be a collaborative area where students can learn about the history of the program. We are hoping to collect:

📸 Photos (Polaroids will be accepted 😉)

🎞️ Historical information / memorabilia

🛡️ Service Patches (reflecting the agencies where graduates spent their career)

Please drop off or pass along any items to faculty or currently enrolled students/colleagues. Alternatively, you can mail them directly to:
