Certified First Responders at Sightpath HQ
Dolores Urban, Director of Human Resources, and the management team recently identified a group of ‘first responders’ among employees at the Bloomington, MN, corporate headquarters. Dolores facilitated a certification session with the American Heart Association, for our 9-person team to spend several hours last week with a Nurse Instructor. During our certification session, we learned Infant, Child and Adult CPR techniques as well as proper administration of an AED (defibrillator) and using the Heimlich maneuver to resolve an obstructed airway. While many of our ophthalmic technicians in the field would consider this type of exercise just a day-in-the-life, it’s new to most of our staff at the corporate headquarters.
SPM Clinical Services is gearing up for the MoFe rollout!
Jason Andersen, Sr. Technician; Stephanie Mitchell, Clinical Services Manager and Jason Primeaux, CAS (Clinical Application Specialist), successfully completed the LenSx Clinical Application training course in February at the LenSx facility in Aliso Viejo, CA.
Digging out in the North East
Marissa Bellerose, CV-70, shared this photo of her Cataract van. Marissa calls Worcester, MA, home and this weekend saw almost 35" of snow fall! She reports that it took her (actually, her fiancee, pictured) about 4 hours to dig it all out, but that they have it all cleared and she is ready to leave Sunday for cases on Monday.
By Friday at 4pm, the Governor of Massachusetts declared a ban keeping everyone off the roads for 24 hours. The penalty for breaking the ban was a year in jail or $500! Marissa reports that while the storm was crazy, they rode it out without losing any power and didn’t mind being snowed in for a day.
