This past weekend four members of Elverson EMS attended to 16th annual Eastern EMS Council Conference. The conference is held at Pocono Manor Inn in Pocono Manor, PA. The four members headed to the conference on early Friday morning. After registration and lunch the lecture began. The members attended numerous lectures to advance our skills on cardiac care, trauma care, and management of the organization. Classes continued all day Saturday and Sunday morning. Around lunch time on Saturday Deputy Chief, J. Carmen, Battalion Chief, A. Englander and EMT, M. Delong attended a BLS skills challenge. That evening at a dinner sponsored by St Luke's Hospital, the winner of the competition was announced. Elverson EMS placed second. Out of a total of 400 points, the Elverson EMS team only missed first place by less than 5 point. DeSales University QRS won the completion. The QRS company is widely recognized in the EMS community for there recent win in the national completion at the JEM's conference.
Elverson EMS would like to thank the Conference Committee from Eastern EMS Council for another educational and fun year. Keep up the outstanding work!
