NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County is making sure it has a plan in place for a multitude of crisis situations.
NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County is preparing for pandemic events or any other hazard with a mobile emergency department. Hospital officials say they need to be ready to expand into alternative care sites.
Doctors and nurses communicate with one another, using high-tech equipment inside the ER trailer, stabilizing patients one mannequin at a time.
Those involved with the drills say they were very helpful, feeling like they got direct experience into what working in a pandemic situation would be like.
