Las Vegas HEALS and Touro University have partnered up for the next Las Vegas HEALS Healthcare Happy Hour. Touro University will welcome guests into its new Michael Tang Regional Center for Clinical Simulation and the Chantal and Stephen J. Cloobeck Regional Center for Disaster Life Support. These two state-of-the-art centers will have a profound impact on health care education and the community by providing opportunities for interdisciplinary, team-based, hyper-realistic training for health care providers and first responders.
The next Healthcare Happy Hour will take place from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 16 at 874 American Pacific Drive in Henderson. This networking event will include hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, and remarks by Doug Geinzer of Las Vegas HEALS and Shelley Berkley of Touro University Nevada. Event registration is complimentary for all Las Vegas HEALS members by emailing their RSVP to Admin@LasVegasHEALS.org or call 702.952.2477. Non-members who are interested in attending the Healthcare Happy Hour event for the first time may also register for free as a guest.
“Touro is delighted to showcase our two new regional Centers at this month’s Healthcare Happy Hour, said Shelley Berkley, chief executive officer and senior provost of Touro University. These Centers demonstrate Touro’s dedication to providing our students with the knowledge and proficiency needed to be successful. The Centers also will be a resource for health care providers, first responders, and others in the community who can utilize these environments for training.”
The Michael Tang Center incorporates simulated technology to enhance the education for students from Touro’s medical school and other health care programs. The Center features anatomage tables, sim-men, surgical cut suits, ultrasound machines, and heart and lung simulators. Healthcare Happy Hour attendees will be able to experience this technology first hand. The Cloobeck Center, which will become Southern Nevada’s only National Disaster Life Support Foundation-certified facility, will offer cutting-edge training and disaster management courses for health care providers and first responders. Training in the Cloobeck Center will feature classroom instruction, table top exercises, and mass casualty disaster simulated scenario-based training, which will be showcased at Las Vegas HEALS Healthcare Happy Hour.
“This event will be a very special one, as Touro University will be showcasing its two new state-of-the-art disaster life support centers,” said Doug Geinzer, chief executive officer of Las Vegas HEALS. “It is Las Vegas HEALS’ goal for our state to be a globally recognized destination in the medical tourism industry, and every time we open another top-of-the-line medical entity to the state, it brings us one step closer to achieving that goal.”
