Harleysville Area EMS Copryright 2012 05/18/2012 05/18/2012 www.haems.org News from Harleysville Area EMS HAEMS Crew Visits Hopwood School and Camp 02/23/2012 01:23 PM http://www.haems.org/home/577352.html It is usually cause for alarm when an ambulance arrives at a school, but not at Hopwood School and Camp in Towamencin, PA recently. Harleysville Area EMS Paramedic Nicole McCleod and EMT Michael Antonucci traveled to the school to spend some time with students and staff. “We love getting out into the community especially schools like this one and taking time out to answer questions and take away some of the fears kids might have about the Ambulance,” Chief Don Lynch, Harleysville Area EMS. Lynch continued, “HAEMS has made a point over the years to have our crews go out a few times a year into local schools and daycares to allow kids the opportunity to get to know us a little better. Nicole and Mike are expanding on this as part of our Community Outreach Programs and are doing an excellent job.”

Paramedic McCleod and EMT Antonucci brought in their ambulance’s stretcher and heart monitor while speaking with kids on how and when to use 911 to bring first responders to the rescue. Ambulance coloring books were also handed out to the kids at the end of the presentation. If you or your organization is interested in having a Harleysville Area EMS Ambulance and Crew come out for an educational presentation please contact Chief Lynch at Chief@haems.org or call 215-513-1880.

The workshop showed HAEMS Medics new yet proven techniques for detecting cardiac issues while patients are hooked up to HAEMS heart monitoring equipment.

 The workshop was presented by internationally acclaimed and award winning instructor Bob Page who also happens to be a Paramedic. “It’s important for our Paramedics to stay abreast of new treatment techniques and methods as part of ensuring that our patients receive the best possible pre-hospital care. The care we provide in the ambulance to cardiac patients can and does have significant impact on their future health and well being,” Don Lynch, Chief of Harleysville Area EMS. Chief Lynch continued, “We are always on the lookout for training sessions like this and hope to host further workshops like this ourselves for our EMT’s and members of the community in 2012.”

Eight of Harleysville Area EMS’s eleven Paramedics were able to attend the workshop with the others being scheduled for later sessions. Those in attendance included Andrew Calhoun, Steve Schwarz, Peter LoRe, Tim McAteer, Nicole McLeod, Dave Chadwick, Beth Sheeran, and Chief Lynch.
