ACC Disaster Drill

Date:

Alvin Community College Allied Health programs worked together during a disaster drill on campus on April 25.

Drama students and volunteers helped perform as some of the patients.

The event included students in programs such as Associate Degree Nursing, EMS, Vocational Nursing, Respiratory Care, Neurodiagnostic Technology, Diagnostic Cardiovascular Sonography, and more. Students also had an opportunity to visit with flight medics who arrived on campus on a Memorial Hermann LIfeFlight Helicopter.

The Alvin Volunteer Fire Department also assisted in a simulated extraction on campus.
