CDM Provides Hands-On Training for First Responders
The Center for Disaster Medicine conducted three days of training for first responders from throughout the Hudson Valley, Upstate New York, and Connecticut, from January 22 to 24. During the training, the Center taught a Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course, where first responders learned how to treat trauma victims under austere conditions and a Rescue Task Force (RTF) course, which taught how law enforcement officers and pre-hospital care providers can operate as a team. Utilizing the concepts and principles of TECC and RTF, the first responders learned basic bleeding control, airway management, and victim evacuation techniques.

NYMC Starts the Year Giving Back with Food Donations
During the season of giving, the Food Insecurity Medical Outreach (FIMO) club started off the new year with a successful food drive. Multiple boxes loaded with canned goods, healthy cereals and other non-perishable food items were collected during their Winter Food Drive in January. The collections were donated to the Mount Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry, an organization that has served nearly 100,000 people during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to provide food every week for the Westchester community. "FIMO is incredibly grateful to the members of the NYMC community who generously contributed to the Winter Food Drive. Everyone’s thoughtful donations have provided essential nourishment during the colder months and reflect the true spirit of our community. Thank you for making a meaningful difference and continuing to create positive change. The food we collected is a testament to the generosity and compassion that define the NYMC community," said Yael Weitzner, left, SOM Class of 2026, president of FIMO.
