"Drill like it's the real thing." The CEO of a Las Vegas hospital that treated victims of October shooting gave that advice to Utah health care executives, according to an article on the Desert News website.
Todd Sklamberg, CEO of Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in the Las Vegas Valley, told members of the Utah Hospital Association that healthcare facilities, public health agencies and law enforcement must coordinate ahead of time for the possibility of a mass-casualty event.
"The question is not if this is going to happen again, but when and where," Sklamberg said.
Sunrise Hospital saw 214 patients including 124 with gunshot wounds, which he said was the largest group of such victims any hospital has ever treated from a single incident in U.S. history.
