Continuing their mission to keep local neighborhoods safe and ready for emergencies, the McKenzie Health System team teamed up with local emergency responders to visit schools in Sanilac County.
They recently met with third-grade students from CPS Elementary, Peck Elementary, Sandusky Elementary, Frostick Elementary, and Meyer Elementary to help students know what to do when faced with tough situations. During these visits, the team led students through pretend emergencies, like someone getting hurt or needing to call 9-1-1.
This hands-on experience helped students understand how emergency responders work, from the moment someone calls for help to when they arrive and provide care. In addition to preparing students for tough situations and thus making the community safer, the visits help students consider a future in healthcare.
The events were made possible with the support of Sanilac County Central Dispatch, the Sanilac County Sheriff Department, Croswell EMS, Sanilac EMS, Tri County Ambulance, Croswell Police Department, Lexington Police Department, Peck Police Department, Sandusky Police Department, and other local heroes who worked to make these visits happen.
