Valley's first female paramedic joins Kord's Ambulance
Karen Runge, 22, has worked nearly a year with Kord's Ambulance Service in Scottsdale as one of the valley's first female paramedics. She faced licensing hurdles, earned her credential by oral exam, and sees no barrier to a woman's ability to do the work. Two more women have since joined the company.
