Yellow DotToni proposed that we team up with the NYS Sheriffs’ Association to spread the word about the Yellow Dot program in our area. Yellow Dot is a free program aimed at aiding first responders in giving urgent medical care during the critical "golden hour" after an accident or emergency. Placing a Yellow Dot sticker in the rear window of your car's driver's side signals to first responders that important medical details are stored in the glove compartment. I want to thank Toni for introducing us to this program and am excited to see Yellow Dots on cars around our community. Click here to request a free Yellow Dot kit for your vehicles. Summer of 24 EMT-B AcademyWe're gearing up for the 5th round of the Southern Tier EMT-B Academy, made possible by The Mother Cabrini Health Foundation. We're thrilled to bring this opportunity to folks this summer in Olean. This time around, we're targeting students aged 17-21. If you know anyone who might want to join this program, please encourage them complete the interest form on our website.
Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner ProgramWe recently received recognition from the New York State Department of Health’s Bureau of Perinatal, Reproductive, and Sexual Health for our collaboration with Olean General Hospital and our SAFE program. They praised our initiatives in broadening community outreach and improving Emergency Department competency training. I would like to acknowledge Brandace Gaylor, our SAFE coordinator and Mickey Forness for their unwavering dedication in ensuring that all ER nurses receive comprehensive competency training on the SAFE program. Distance Learning EquipmentThe Essex County Emergency Public Safety Building in Lewis, NY, has recently acquired new distance learning equipment thanks to our USDA RUS Distance Learning and Telemedicine grant. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Jordan Yaros for her dedicated efforts in coordinating the installation of this equipment. It's truly exciting to witness the expansion of our distance learning network into rural areas of New York State!
