First Responders Training Educates Public Safety Officers on
Substance-Related Emergencies
The GPF Foundation is providing education for first responders to help them best identify and provide assistance for people experiencing substance-related emergencies.
Developed in conjunction with the Foundation and Dr. Ben Feinzimer, Physician Lead - Skokie Hospital and EMS Medical Director - Highland Park Hospital, and Emily Mysel, Senior Program Manager - Family Service of Glencoe, the training program ensures that basic knowledge of the symptoms of adulterated recreational drug ingestion and critical next steps are accessible to public safety officers who most frequently encounter such medical emergencies.
