Your Albany Med Injury Prevention Outreach Team was pleased to present the acclaimed Stop The Bleed program to the Herkimer County Rescue Heroes Summer Day Camp. This program is designed for Females ages 14-17 and gives them an opportunity to learn about potential careers in first response in areas such as fire, law enforcement, EMS and 911 dispatch. We were fortunate to have a special guest instructor in attendance, Firefighter/Paramedic Meg Delaney of the City of Amsterdam Fire Department, who, as a strong Female role model in Fire/EMS, was able to answer a LOT of the campers questions. We look forward to working with this great event every year and we thank Herkimer County BOCES for the invitation and continued partnership!

Every day, teens lives are lost due to distracted and reckless driving. We’re on a mission to change that… one school, one class, one teen at a time. 💛

Did you know that 1 out of 4 Americans over the age of 65 fall every year, resulting in the #1 cause of traumatic injuries nationwide?

Your Albany Med Injury Prevention Outreach Team was at it again, delivering the acclaimed “On Your Feet and Independent” Adult fall prevention program to some great people at the Clifton Park Senior Community Center today.

We discussed the various risk factors associated with falls and how to mitigate those risks to live safer and more independent lives.

We are currently booking events for Senior Centers and Adult Living Facilities for the Fall, to help prevent the “fall.” Reach out to us if you’re interested in hosting one of these great events for your group!

As we head into the long 4th of July holiday weekend, we remind you all to be safe, so your celebrations don’t end up with an unplanned visit with your regional trauma care experts.

There’s a lot more to safe driving than how you drive. Having the proper fit inside your vehicle can make a big difference and help protect you and those around you. With CarFit, an educational program developed by AARP and the American Occupational Therapy Association, you’ll get information and resources on how you can enhance your safety in the driver’s seat.

Your Albany Med Injury Prevention Outreach Team in cooperation with the Albany Med Inpatient Occupational, Physical Therapy and Driver Rehab program were fortunate to be able to attend some great training these past few days. Two of our outstanding OT’s became nationally certified as CarFit Technicians and we now have a nationally certified CarFit Event Coordinator.

As such we are now able to plan and host our own events and train new technicians. This will allow us to expand our reach across our region and help make sure that our seniors are driving as safely as possible.

🚴‍♂️💥 What an incredible day at Harding & Mazzotti’s Big Community Day 2025!

Thanks to the generous support from Harding & Mazzotti, the Albany Med Pediatric Trauma Program / Safe Kids Capital Region were able to safely fit over 100 bike helmets—each one given to a child free of charge! 🎉

We also handed out multiple copies of our Summer Safety Bundle, packed with essential injury prevention tips and resources on bike and helmet safety.

A critical link in the Trauma Chain of Survival is Prevention, especially when it comes to cases of violent trauma.

Your Albany Med Violence Intervention Team was fortunate to participate in the Inaugural Hospital Violence Intervention Program Conference in the Bronx, sponsored by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. Andrea Millich, LMSW did a stellar job presenting on what Albany Medical Center does to support these efforts.

Albany Medical Center is a NYS SNUG Hybrid Violence Intervention Program (HVIP). This type of program leverages on-site designated Social Workers, off-site designated Hospital Responders from 518 SNUG Community Site as well as SNUG Community Outreach Teams.

These elements work tirelessly with victims, families and communities of violent trauma to help support the injured on their journey to recovery and try to prevent retaliatory violence.

These efforts are part of a nationally recognized, evidence-based approach to reduce the number of injuries from violence and have been proven to be effective.

Making sure our regional First Responders are better prepared to do their job is something we take great pride in. Your Albany Med Injury Prevention Outreach Team was at it again, bringing Stop The Bleed training to our friends at the Rock City Falls Fire Department in Milton, Saratoga County, New York. Participants learned how to quickly recognize and treat life-threatening bleeding emergencies, making their Fire Company and their community safer in the process. When seconds count, know how to Stop The Bleed!

🚲🛴 Safety + Summer Fun = A Perfect Match! 🎉

The Pediatric Trauma Injury Prevention Team teamed up with Albany County DPW Traffic Safety Education Program to celebrate the end of the school year with Green Island School’s Pre-K through 3rd graders! 💛📚

Thanks to the generous donation from Harding & Mazzotti , every single student picked out their very own bike helmet—and our team made sure each one was properly fitted for safety. ✅💪

We kept the energy high with songs about safety and the importance of always wearing a helmet while riding bikes or scooters. 🎶🚴‍♀️🛡️
