Education Outreach Coordinator Duke Life Flight Benson, North Carolina, United States
How do you respond to the worst day imaginable for your program? Duke faced this question when it experienced the tragic loss of three crew members and a patient on September 8th, 2017. The next several months brought Life Flight dark days and we had to develop resiliency to continue our mission. To honor the crew lost, to repay the support received from the HEMS industry and EMS community, I share some of our experiences and how going forward our goal is to help prepare others for the day that we all hope never comes. The emphasis is raising industry awareness for personal and program preparedness prior to tragedy.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participants will be able to implement concrete steps to improve their personal preparedness.
Upon completion, participants will be able to prepare their organization for an incident and identify the events likely in the wake of a Line of Duty Death.
Upon completion, participants will be able to perform effectively when addressing the needs of other programs that experience a Line of Duty Death
