ATCN is a nationally recognized program designed to equip nurses with the skills to rapidly assess, intervene, and manage critically injured patients—an essential foundation of high-quality trauma care.

We were proud to welcome nurses from UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital, Upstate University Hospital Downtown Campus, Carthage Area Hospital, and Wynn Hospital, strengthening collaboration and trauma readiness across Central New York.

Heavy accumulation of snow is coming to our area. Please plan ahead and be safe!

Good morning everyone! The main story this week will be the significant lake effect snow event expected tonight through Thursday. Strong gusty winds combined with heavy snow could cause whiteout conditions at times across portions of the I90 Corridor, making travel extremely difficult if not impossible. Go to our briefing page at https://www.weather.gov/bgm/briefingMain for more details on this upcoming lake effect event.
