With a campus spanning 129 acres, multiple outbuildings and other areas used by students, Hampshire High School definitely has it’s challenges when it comes to responding to a medical emergency on campus. In order to more efficiently respond to these types of calls for help, the staff at the HHS has formed a Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT). Our MERT Team consists of three registered nurses, an emergency medical technician, along with several other staff that have a background in emergency response. These responders are assisted by multiple support staff, as well as our First-Aid/ CPR Certified Law Enforcement Interns.

The Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) program provides immediate and temporary care to a seriously ill or injured student/employee while on campus. In many cases, MERT members will respond to an emergency and provide treatment as an individual or as a team. For some, it will be to augment on-staff medical professionals and outside emergency medical personnel (9-1-1).

To assist with this project, Romney Vol. Rescue Squad Chief, Donnie Smith, teamed up with Valley Medical Transport Base Manager, Chris Guynn, to secure and donate a used Stryker EMS Stretcher to the newly formed program. New stretchers of this type are valued at approximately $12,000.00. In addition to the stretcher, Romney Rescue also donated two quick response bags to be used by the team. Capon Bridge Rescue Squad donated a backboard with accompanying supplies, and Augusta Rescue Squad made a donation of medical supplies.

Hampshire High School would like to the thank those community members that helped make this project possible. We are grateful for their service and assistance.
