Medics from Grand Forks AFB & local hospital test readiness for Ebola threat during exercise

Altru Health Systems paramedics Brittany Gierszewski, Val McDonald and Chuck Baskerville prepare to transport, Master Sgt. Brian Fair, pseudo Ebola patient via ambulance from Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D., to Altru Hospital Dec. 19, 2014. Medical personnel from both the 319th Medical Group and Altru Health Systems worked together during an Ebola Preparedness Exercise. As an outpatient facility, the base medical clinic would not hospitalize and test a suspected Ebola patient. Their job would be to identify a suspected patient, quickly place them in isolation for further assessment, and then coordinate with the North Dakota Department of Health and Altru for transport and further evaluation if it was deemed necessary. Furthermore, Altru’s ambulance service was designated by the North Dakota Department of Health as an approved crew for the transport of suspected Ebola patients the Northeastern region of the state.
