The emergency department at CVMC started construction May 14th on the B-side and the docs room/AB nurses station. This phase will last approx. ten weeks and will be followed by another that will involve the c-side. 

There will always be a minimum five foot path for ambulance traffic to get from the bay to C-side. The TCA will be accessed by traveling down the A-side and through the kitchen. Please excuse our mess for this time period and as there are many questions we don’t know ourselves, understand that things may move around.

For now linen should be accessed from the cart at the end of the C-side. We do not have wall space to keep the B-side linen cart because a temporary wall will be around the B-side, docs station and half way down the A-side. Lab stuff will be in a cabinet in the same location (by the c-side linen cart).

Please reach out to Jes Cullen or Keith Taylor for questions. 

Ability to treat and transport to facilities such as Express Care, etc., treat and release and still get paid.

2019 -Per Dr Blum:  Please provide a copy of your handoff form to MD/PA/NP who will be seeing your patient and to the nurse with your bedside report. 

           Continue to keep a copy to use when completing your siren report.​

Montpelier, Vermont – Suicide Awareness and Prevention Training.  .  This training is hosted by the State of Vermont, and is FREE.

The stress associated with law enforcement and other first response professions is enormous. Individuals working in these most stressful occupations also face the probability that at some point in their career they will also be affected by some type of traumatic or critical incident stress. This 4-hour workshop will provide first responders and/or their family members the information necessary to recognize the signs and symptoms of job-related stress, especially as it relates to suicide, and also provide them with strategies that will enable them to provide immediate support for individuals who may be considering suicide.

}A MCI Drill was held in Waitsfield in early April.  Local Fire departments quickly made the scene safe and EMS services MRVAS, Waterbury and Northfield participated.

Dr. Blum wanted every responder in District Six to complete the training by no later than December 31, 2019.

An Email assignment notifier was sent around Nov 8.

Hello all,

Sept 1st was our go live date for High Performance CPR in the district.  That means everyone must be trained by then.  We are pretty close. 

AGAIN, THIS MEANS EVERYONE MUST BE TRAINED ON HIGH PERFORMANCE CPR BY SEPT  1.

Cheers,

Jared

VAD6 has trained over 201 people in high-performance CPR in the past year.  All of them have been entered into CentreLearn, if their account is active.

Head of Service for each agency compare their current roster with the completed list below.  If there are members that have obtained HPCPR through another means, please provide me their names so I can take them off of the list.  Otherwise, each HOS is requested to provide a list of current D6 responders that have not attended HPCPR.  

Contact your service training officer or Scott Bagg if you need HPCPR training
