A police officer walked the Grim Reaper and made announcements that a member of the class 2015 was killed in (a simulated) an intoxicated driving accident and spoke of national statistics on drinking and driving. The program culminated at Tiger Stadium where an accident was be simulated and student actors portrayed the wounded and dead.

The new vehicle will serve as the medical center’s first Specialty Transport Care Unit (SCTU). Designed to augment Trinitas’ current transport capabilities, the SCTU will provide a higher level of transport for patients who need to be accompanied by a Registered Nurse, who is also a paramedic. As Gary S. Horan, FACHE, President and CEO of Trinitas explains, “The SCTU will be used for critical care patients who are being transferred to the Trinitas Cardiac Cauterization Lab from neighboring hospitals, or for dialysis patients who may need a ventilator while they are being transported for treatments. When paramedics and registered nurses are not committed to specialty transport activities, they can be effectively deployed to respond to 911 calls in Elizabeth, and function as a Mobile Intensive Care Unit (MICU) response team. The SCTU complements and strengthens our existing MICU as a vital new service for our community.” Wakefern Food Corporation (ShopRite), the Gertrude L. Hirsch Charitable Trust, and the Paragano Family Foundation, were additional benefactors who made the purchase of the new vehicle possible. The Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery received Trinitas Health Foundation’s Celebrating Philanthropy Award at the Foundation’s 2014 Gala.“Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery recognizes the importance of safety and community preparedness,” states Darren “This Cunningham, Refinery Manager. specialized ambulance is an example of taking action to be prepared for emergency situations. We are proud to be able to support its purchase, and we are very pleased to hear it is already in service and helping those in our surrounding communities.” Nadine Brechner, Vice President Trinitas Health Foundation and Chief Development Officer, salutes those who provided this grant funding. “This is an excellent example of how we simply couldn’t do it without the help of generous benefactors. They help us continually enhance our ability to respond to the healthcare needs of our community.
