ALTON Brian Fogarty and Ruth Kvistad of the Alton Memorial Hospital EMS team are both heading to medical school later this year.
Kvistad said she hadn’t planned on more school. An EMT with Alton Memorial Hospital’s EMS team since November 2020, she has even loftier goals. Neither of her parents had college degrees, and her high school wasn’t pushing students to apply.
Then, during her senior year, Kvistad was cleaning out fryers as part of a fundraiser for a local organization. One of her co-volunteers accidentally opened the valve at the bottom of a fryer and a mixture of boiling water, soap and remnant oil gushed onto Kvistad’s foot badly burning her.
