Every month is designated to bring awareness to a subject of importance to society and communities.
One subject of awareness in May is National Water Safety!

In the local community and area alone there are numerous bodies of water whether it be a creek, lake, pond, pool or ANY body of water. First priority should always be for safety and well being in any given time. Here are some examples of practices and tips to be aware of and implement as weather gets nicer and swimming is more appealing. ALWAYS BE AWARE and in the case of emergencies call 911.

Another successful combined RSI training!

This time, we were joined by our partners at North Greenbush Ambulance Association, Hoosic Valley Rescue, and Colonie EMS Department for a collaborative training focused on advanced airway care. Thank you to Hudson Valley Community College Paramedic Program for providing the training space, and to the Emergency Physicians at Albany Med Health System for their expert instruction. We also appreciate Travis (Green Island Fire Department) and Chris (Brunswick Fire Department) for stepping in as patients during our “firefighter down” scenario.

Training together strengthens our ability to deliver advanced, lifesaving care across our region. Together, we save lives.
