| The Vista Fire Department would like to congratulate EMT Grant Vialardi on completing the "Geriatrics in EMS" class at the Bridgewater Volunteer Fire Department in Bridgewater, CT.
EMT Vialardi completed the 8-hour course described as the following:
"The GEMS course helps EMS practitioners learn to conduct a comprehensive assessment of geriatric patients. Because the aging process affects all body systems, NAEMT’s course provides an overview of changes that occur as people age and describes how those changes can impact patient presentation. Incorporation of the GEMS Diamond (Geriatric, Environmental, Medical, and Social assessments) can help practitioners formulate a holistic diagnostic and treatment approach."
All training is free of charge to the members of the Vista Fire Department and Volunteers are needed! For more info on how you can become a member call: (914)-533-2727, email us at Info@VistaFD.org, visit https://www.vistafd.org/content/become/ or apply online here: https://www.vistafd.org/apply |
