Education Presentation

Aaron Malin – General and Medical Preparedness presentation

Aaron will be posting his presentation on the IOR website for future reference and it will be updated over time.

There was a discussion about emergencies and emergency transport.  A Life Flight or Air St. Luke’s membership are important so you do not end up with an outrageous bill from an emergency. It is worth the investment.

Jen will put links to the transport websites on our IOR website/FB member and public pages.
