Collaboration in action. 🚑

This week, Frye Regional’s Emergency Department partnered with Lenoir-Rhyne University Nursing students for a hands-on simulation designed to mirror real-life patient scenarios.

In this exercise, teams responded to a simulated disaster involving a school bus carrying a high school soccer team and several parents colliding with a minivan transporting a mother and her three children, ages 3 months, 10 and 11.

At Lenoir-Rhyne University, nursing students conducted initial triage before patients were transported to Frye Regional for re-triage and treatment. 🩺

Through simulations like this, participants strengthen communication, enhance clinical decision-making and improve coordination across care teams—ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. Working together in a controlled environment also helps refine critical skills, build confidence and foster the essential teamwork in high-pressure situations.

We’re proud to support the next generation of healthcare professionals while strengthening partnerships across our community. 💙
