AirLife Virginia, in partnership with the Henry County Department of Public Safety, will host the inaugural AirLife Virginia Pulse Expo, a three-day continuing education event for EMS, fire, law enforcement and hospital professionals.
The event is scheduled for June 26-28 at the Henry County Department of Public Safety, 1024 Dupont Road in Martinsville.
According to organizers, the expo is intended to provide collaborative training opportunities focused on emergency response and patient care.
“Pulse Expo will allow participants to collaborate, stay current on recurring clinical training, and build the muscle memory needed to respond with confidence,” said Trish Dudley, business manager for Air Methods, AirLife Virginia’s parent company.
The event will include lectures and hands-on training sessions covering topics ranging from basic life support to advanced critical care. Planned sessions include neonatal and pediatric emergencies, trauma and burn care, cardiology, vasoactive medications, first aid kits, operational readiness and interdisciplinary response.
Organizers said the event is designed to provide evidence-based training that can be applied in both field and clinical settings while strengthening coordination among emergency response and healthcare teams.
“Pulse Expo is an opportunity for professionals across disciplines to come together around one shared goal: improving patient care,” said AirLife Virginia Flight Paramedic Gary Ayers. “Strong partnerships are essential in emergency response, and when EMS, public safety, and hospital teams train together, they help build a more connected ecosystem of care that better serves patients and communities.”
Continuing education hours will be available for attendees. Registration is free, and food will be provided during the event.
Additional information and registration details are available through Eventbrite or by contacting Dudley at patricia.dudley@airmethods.com.
