Community Outreach

The division serves the community in many capacities. Divisional members have presented and participated in discussions and presentations at Emergency Medical Service venues throughout the state’s first aid squads in various communities. The division initiated and presents an Office Preparedness Course in private practitioner’s offices throughout the state. These venues are a cooperative effort between divisional members and nursing staff that do mock code scenarios followed by discussions to enhance the ability to take care of critically ill children in outpatient facilities. The division is particularly proud of its efforts in initiating and supporting the cardio pulmonary resuscitation training for non-English speaking members of the community. Along with this venue is the holiday party initiated by the division and the Puerto-Rican Action Board.
