“I feel like I\u2019ve come full circle,” Gavze-Ra\u2019uvin shared. “It\u2019s always been my dream to volunteer with MDA, and after witnessing how the knowledge of the team that treated my husband saved his life, I knew without a doubt that becoming an EMT was something I had to do,” she said.<\/p>\n
A Force Multiplier for Saving Lives<\/strong><\/p>\n Galit Shaul, Head of the Emek Hefer Regional Council, praised the new EMTs: \u201cEspecially in these challenging times, the ability to provide rapid and enhanced responses to urgent emergencies means truly saving lives. I want to thank each and every one of you for your dedication to volunteering and life-saving work. I hope our EMTs and drivers will have as little work as possible.”<\/p>\n The new EMTs will be equipped with advanced resuscitation kits, enabling them to provide medical care outside their shifts as part of MDA\u2019s rapid response system. According to Yossi Rakah, director of the Sharon region at MDA, the addition of new EMTs to the region and the rapid response system acts as a “force multiplier for the regional council and surrounding areas, helping save countless lives in the Sharon region.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The story of a resident who demonstrated the power of volunteerism and strengthened her community\u2019s safety and health. “Giving is Receiving.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":13779,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[97,2276,85],"tags":[2767,2537,1559],"class_list":["post-13778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","category-people","category-positive-moment","tag-emek-hefer","tag-emt","tag-mda"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/mda-graduation.jpeg\")
