February 9 Demonstration of Deployable Medical Equipment

On February 9, 2009, the Southeastern Pennsylvania Specialized Medical Response Team (SEPA SMRT) hosted a public, hands-on demonstration of its deployable medical equipment, including inflatable portable hospitals, portable ventilators and cardiac monitors, at the Valley Forge Convention Center in King of Prussia, PA. The region's newest emergency preparedness resource was designed to serve community needs and supplement response efforts by hospitals and others in the event of a disaster.  SEPA SMRT is a collaboration of the Delaware Valley Healthcare Council of HAP, the Health Care Improvement Foundation, the Pennsylvania Southeast Region Task Force, and the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
