Simulation Center

We are proud to offer use of our ALS Simulator mannequin which allows for real-life training scenarios. You can perform and assess relevant medical skills including a life-like pulse and blood pressure, lung sounds, IV placement, intubation, needle decompression, chest tube placement, as well as heart and abdominal sounds.

Any agency interested in using the space should contact our Training Department at (585) 334-4190 or e-mail training@chsmobilehealth.org.
