Education has always played a vital role in the success of EES. In 2018, once the 700 S Fayette location was established, the Longman Learning Center (LLC) was created. The LLC is a training room dedicated to the memory of John E Longman, who was instrumental in making EES one of the elite health care providers in the area. Training occurs in the LLC monthly along with critical care training, community CPR and AHA courses. We also provide EMT-B and PHRN classes in collaboration with the McLean County Area EMS System.
