NORWICH – A Mercy Flight helicopter visited the Chenango Memorial Hospital Friday as part of an education program to help students take interest in the medical profession.
About 17 local students greeted the three-person flight crew, consisting of a pilot, flight nurse and flight paramedic.
“The Career Days program is made possible thanks to a grant from the Otis Thompson Foundation,” said Melissa Stagnaro, Director of Fundraising and Business Development.
“Over the course of the two days, the students get to see and experience a number of areas of the hospital. Many of the activities are hands on. This year, they assisted in the ultrasound of a mother-to-be, performed mock laparoscopic surgery, learned how to intubate a mannequin, practiced CPR, participated in a training exercise with our decontamination team, spent time with the residents of our long-term care unit and much more,” she said.
UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital is a member of the United Health Services, a locally owned not-for-profit 916-bed hospital and health care system serving the Greater Binghamton region from more than 40 locations around New York’s Southern Tier.
