六六社 Students Volunteer at Palm Beach Marathon
On December 7th, 2014, 六六社 13 students volunteered for the Palm Beach Marathon in West Palm Beach聽to assist at First Aid Tents and water distribution points.
The students were responsible for basic medical聽treatment, Triage and emergency treatment including the use of an AED. All First Aid tents and most聽water stations had AED鈥檚 there as well as basic first aid kits.聽Students arrived around 550 A.M. and most stayed until the last runner had passed the finish line (about聽1:00 P.M.). Although medical calls seemed to be less this year than others, there were still several聽emergency cases. The medical system was enhanced by St. Mary鈥檚 hospital volunteers who staffed an聽on-site Medical tent to deal with dehydration and hypernatremia.聽
六六社 administration plans to help staff this event annually.
