Carson City TRIAD to hold medical emergency preparedness seminar Friday with Carson Fire
Carson City Nevada TRIAD presents “Prepare for a Medical Emergency” with Carson Fire Department paramedics at the Carson City Senior Center, 911 Beverly Drive, on Friday, August 11, at 11:45 a.m.
TRIAD is a partnership between the Carson City Senior Center, Sheriff’s Office and Fire Department. The group provides monthly educational workshops to help Carson City seniors deal more effectively with many of the problems faced by older citizens.
“We are pleased to work with the Sheriff and Senior Center to offer these workshops,” Sean Slamon, chief of the Carson City Fire Department, said. “Because of the aging of our population and the increasing demands being placed on law enforcement and first responders, it is important for us to identify and provide relevant information to help all of us work together to meet the needs of our older adults.”
TRIAD launched in June with an exhibit and discussion of the sheriff’s special enforcement and canine teams. July’s meeting was focused on how to handle wild fires, and their attendant poor air quality, and a lesson on fire extinguisher safety. Upcoming events include preventing illness during flu season and fall prevention.
“We encourage everyone to attend TRIAD meetings, they are open to the public,” Slamon said. “Sharing our information and resources makes us a stronger community.”
For more information, email Courtney Warner, executive director of the Carson City Senior Center, at CWarner@carson.org, or call the Center at (775) 883-0703. The Carson City Senior Center is located at 911 Beverly Drive in Carson City.
