Last week, staff from the Presbyterian Healthcare Advanced Learning Lab (HALL) came to LCMC to provide a hands-on training obstetrical experience for our Emergency Room staff. Utilizing patient simulators, staff were presented with different delivery scenarios to improve their skills and knowledge. By creating a real-world environment, this training enhances teamwork and communication. These resources were funded in part by the Presbyterian Healthcare Foundation.
