Baxter Regional Medical Center is once again taking a unique step in providing medical care. The medical center’s latest advancement is a simulation center and laboratory officials say is unlike any other hospital’s in the region.
BRMC’s sim lab will include manikins with the ability to closely simulate many patient conditions, such as emergency care, cardiac function, advanced airway training and childbirth complications. In addition to these patient conditions, the manikins will be able to react to medications in many simulated, hands-on scenarios.
Hospital officials say this learning center will provide safe, highly impactful continuing education to its physicians, nurses and other clinic staff. They will have access to the next generation of healthcare training in a detailed, simulated environment using advanced medical manikins. Through simulation training, Baxter Regional clinicians will become masters of clinical care.
Baxter Regional Hospital Foundation is committed to raising $300,000 in community donations of the $900,000 budget to develop this center. Gifts to the simulation center and laboratory capital campaign may be structured many ways, including pledges made over multiple years. There is also a naming opportunity available. Those interested in joining the campaign should contact the foundation.
