The Carilion Clinic Life-Guard staff frequently hosts hangar tours for area school groups and summer camps. It's a wonderful opportunity for the children to learn more about our jobs as well as tips on how to be good helpers during emergency situations. The kids are always full of great questions and certainly help to remind all of us here at CCPT why we have chosen our professions as emergency medical providers. We welcome groups of all ages to visit our workplace and see the helicopters and ambulances up close. Feel free to contact our Business Development Office at (540) 981-8303 to schedule a visit.
A special thanks also goes to Dr. Carol Gilbert and Krista Henderson, MSN, RN, from Carilion Clinic Trauma Services, for coordinating the activities with us. See the kids in action below, as they learn how to backboard a mock patient and load him into the aircraft-looks like future CCPT employees to us!Click on the thumbnails below to see more of the kids' day with us:
