Members of the Junior Town of Hoosick Rescue Squad, including Taylor Flohr, Olivia O’Connel and Anna Brewer measured the blood pressure of people who stopped by their table at the Armory on Saturday, April 25. Other members of the Junior group are Makala Sonnett, Fallon Parker, Jayde Tutunjian and Bernard Davock.
Junior Members receive training in Basic Life Support (BLS) skills and are assigned to night and weekend teams. This program is inspiring for many high schoolers. Many past members have gone into health fields such as nursing, and three have become doctors.
The Rescue Squad Youth Group is also very active and are currently working on plans for a float in the Hoosick Falls Memorial Day Parade.
