Our speaker on July 18th was Barbara Vaning. She is a program associate/EMT Training Center Coordinator at Penn Medicine Princeton Health. Barbara has also been active in the EMS for over 44 years and is a New Jersey Certified EMT instructor and CPR instructor. Her current job brings her into the community to educate residents on medical and safety issues.
The title of Barbara's presentation was "Is this an emergency?" She reviewed a variety of emergency situations and the appropriate actions to be taken. Usually part of that response will be calling for help via 911. Even if you are unsure, the best course is to have the professionals do the evaluation and take the correct course of action.
Barbara also shared some resources that could be used in various emergency situations. Thanks to Barbara for helping us be better prepared.
