Great trauma care depends on what happens before a patient ever reaches our doors.

Meredith Sommerville, MD, Trauma Medical Director at Saint Francis Hospital, shares what Hospitality Is Our First Act of Care means from a trauma perspective: respecting the work already done in the field, ensuring smooth transitions of care, and fostering a culture of partnership with EMS professionals across our region.

It's a commitment to preparedness, collaboration, and putting patients first—every day.

This month's EMS spotlight is on Abraham "AC" Klagsbrun of Hatzalah. Hatzalah is an all-volunteer organization serving the greater Waterbury area. Their volunteers accept mutual aid calls 24 hours a day, and are a key EMS resource in the area.

Their Chief stated this:

"AC has been a dedicated member of Hatzalah for many years and is one of, if not the most, active call takers in our organization, consistently responding both day and night. His level of commitment and availability to the community is truly exceptional.

Most recently, AC completed paramedic school while continuing to maintain a full-time job and his significant volunteer responsibilities with Hatzalah. He has now been upgraded to serve as a backup paramedic, adding another level of care he can provide to our patients and community.

In addition to his work in the field, AC has continued to advance his involvement in EMS education. After graduating from paramedic school, he became a certified EMS Instructor and has been teaching EMT courses and providing continuing medical education (CME) programs through his company, CT Training Center. Through this work, AC is helping to train and educate the next generation of EMS providers while continuing to serve his own community as a volunteer.

We think AC would be a very deserving candidate for the EMS Spotlight and a great example of the dedication, commitment, and continued growth that define volunteer EMS providers. His willingness to give his time—not only responding to calls, but also pursuing advanced education and helping educate future EMS providers—is truly commendable."

We were proud to join Windsor Emergency Medical Services for an evening of trauma education led by trauma surgeon Sarah Posillico, MD.

Dr. Posillico shared practical, real-world insights on surgical airway techniques, bleeding control, chest decompression landmarking and the growing role of whole blood administration in trauma care. She also explained the "Diamond of Death," helping EMS providers better understand how trauma patients can rapidly deteriorate and why early intervention matters.

Joining the discussion, John Pettini, DO, FACEP, EMS Medical Director at Trinity Health Of New England, demonstrated a junctional tourniquet and highlighted its value in managing severe bleeding in areas where traditional tourniquets cannot be applied.

We are grateful for opportunities to learn alongside our EMS partners and strengthen the skills that help save lives when every second counts.

The patient journey doesn't begin at the hospital—it begins with EMS.

Mary Noory, MD, Associate Trauma Medical Director at Saint Francis Hospital, reflects on the partnership between EMS and our trauma team and what Hospitality Is Our First Act of Care means in practice.

For us, hospitality means being prepared to receive your patient, listening to your assessment, and working together to provide seamless care from the field to the bedside.
