A partnership between Coffeyville Regional Medical Center and Coffeyville Community College has been mutually beneficial to both parties.

The hospital cooperates with the college in several ways. One such way is in the classroom, where CRMC staff teach students in the paramedic program and assist with the EMT program. CCC's Yvonne Hull said the support the college receives from CRMC is beneficial as they take in students from a wide area.

In addition, CRMC recently donated an ambulance to the college. It will be used to provide on-hand and real-life experience for students.
