Great night at Con Ed with our Medical Director, Dr. Ritz! 👨‍⚕️🚑

Each session we select topics that help our members review critical knowledge, refresh skills, and get hands-on practice to stay sharp for our community.

Tonight’s training focused on:
🦴 Splinting
🩻 Spinal Immobilization
🩺DuoNeb vs. Albuterol
🩹Traction Splints

We also heard some snoring and found our mascot, Jace, who decided to fall asleep halfway through class — guess all that learning wore him out! 😆🐾

Thank you to Dr. Ritz for sharing your time and expertise, and to our members who continue to dedicate themselves to learning and improving patient care! 💙👏

❄️ Winter Weather incoming! ❄️

With an inclement snowstorm expected in our area, we want to remind our communities that our crews will be staffing our station 24/7, 365—just like always 🚑💙

🚨 If you need emergency medical assistance, don't hesitate to call 911. We are always here for you. 🚨

We strongly encourage everyone to avoid driving if you can during the storm. Snow and ice can make road conditions extremely dangerous, and limiting travel helps keep both the public and first responders safe.

Tips to stay safe during a snowstorm:
🏠 Stay indoors and avoid unnecessary trips
💡 Keep flashlights, batteries, and backup lighting available
🥫 Stock up on non-perishable food and water
🔋 Charge phones and essential medical devices
🧥 Dress in layers and keep extra blankets nearby
💊 Make sure you have enough medications and medical supplies
🔥 Use alternative heat sources safely and with proper ventilation

Please remember to check on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone who may need extra assistance during severe weather!

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. Stay warm, stay safe, and know that we remain ready to answer the call—no matter the weather ❄️🚑
