Hello Everyone, I am reaching out in this time of need to help my friend Sco… Kim Seligman Day needs your support for Firefighter In Need For Medical ExpensesOne of the best....Today, the man who spent 30 years transforming the EMS program as adjunct, instructor and Program Director retires from Polk State College.
Don Guillette spent seven years as an EMS adjunct and twenty-three years as Director of the EMS program. His sole mission was to have a program that would be the leader in EMS education in Polk County and within the State of Florida and I think we can all agree he has done just that.
Don, from all of us at Polk State and within the program, we will miss you. Thank you for your leadership and please visit us often. Congratulations on retirement!
Just know- YOU have left Polk State College’s EMS program better than you found it and YOU made a difference!
Congrats Don!
