East Georgia Regional Medical Center Now a State and Nationally Registered ASLS Training Center
7/3/2018
East Georgia Regional Medical Center sent 6 members of its staff and a representative from Air-EVAC/EMS to Atlanta in April to attend the Advanced Stroke Life Support (ASLS) Provider and Instructor Training Course. Those in attendance were: Clinical Educators Christy McMickle and Lesli Martin; Cheri Wagner, ER, RN; Kim McMickle, ER Nurse Coordinator; Dr. Buck Sommers, ER Physician and Bulloch County EMS Medical Director; Jeffery Fussell, Flight Paramedic, Air-EVAC; and Anthony Vito, RN, Stroke and Chest Pain Center Coordinator.
Vito has been an ASLS Instructor since 2006, therefore East Georgia Regional Medical Center qualified to become a State and Nationally Registered Training Center for the Provider course of ASLS.
On April 28th, East Georgia Regional Medical Center was awarded the Designation of Training Center and Vito was appointed as Training Center Coordinator. What this means for the hospital is that they will now be able to teach the provider course to Health Care Providers (Nurses and EMT’s, Paramedics) from all over the United States at our facility.
This is a great honor and designation for East Georgia Regional Medical Center as a leader in the recognition, treatment, and rehabilitation of acute strokes and TIA, with Bulloch County EMS, AIR EVAC as our Region IX County EMS partners.
