These graduates, plus 28 new EMTs, could eliminate vacancies in Honolulu EMS by year’s end — a milestone never seen before. The program, open statewide, sends many back to their home islands, including 16 to Oahu and others to Kauai and the Big Island, strengthening advanced life support across the archipelago. With more paramedics on the ground, response times and care quality are set to improve — and the next class starts in August, continuing Hawaii’s vital push toward a stronger, more resilient emergency response system.
