We recently held our annual emergency preparedness exercises over the course of two days at the satellite emergency departments at Capital Health – East Trenton and Capital Health at Deborah – Emergency Services. This year, the response drill scenario was an off-site explosion and fire with volunteers posing as patients who sustained mild to serious injuries. Emergencies happen when you least expect them, so it’s reassuring to know that hospitals like Capital Health prepare to provide care should a real emergency occur in the communities we serve. By practicing the procedures and protocols used in crisis situations, we improve our ability to respond to major disasters. Thanks to everyone who participated in these exercises, including the students from our EMT Academy who served as our “patients!”

Thanks to all the Capital Health employees, their spouses, and children for making a positive impact on the communities we serve!
