Hatzolah members recently participated in a medication administration training session focused on emergency interventions by Dr. Rosen. The class provided hands-on instruction for administering critical medications including epinephrine auto-injectors (EpiPens) for severe allergic reactions, Narcan (naloxone) for opioid overdoses, and albuterol nebulizer treatments for asthma attacks and wheezing emergencies.

Dr. Rosen emphasized proper technique, dosage considerations, and recognition of clinical indicators that warrant medication administration. Members practiced with training devices, reviewed case scenarios, and discussed the legal framework governing emergency responder medication administration.

The training reinforced Hatzolah’s commitment to expanding its emergency response capabilities to better serve community members during life-threatening medical emergencies before hospital transport, while also fulfilling state regulations.
