WEBVTT

00:04.140 --> 00:07.660
with the University of Vermont Medical

00:07.660 --> 00:09.549
Center at our location , which is

00:09.549 --> 00:11.604
adjacent to the emergency department

00:11.604 --> 00:14.530
entrance . Our role here is to help

00:14.540 --> 00:16.429
unburden the emergency department

00:16.720 --> 00:18.998
secondary to the Corona virus pandemic .

00:19.440 --> 00:21.670
A patient will ultimately be triaged

00:21.890 --> 00:23.946
outside of the University of Medical

00:23.946 --> 00:26.540
Center , and if it's deemed necessary ,

00:26.540 --> 00:28.596
they will make their way to our tent

00:28.596 --> 00:32.050
for further evaluation and management

00:32.130 --> 00:33.797
with the intent of ultimately

00:33.797 --> 00:36.420
discharging everything we do here is a

00:36.430 --> 00:40.050
joint military civil and

00:40.680 --> 00:43.760
operation . From Day one , we take all

00:43.760 --> 00:45.704
of our direction from the state of

00:45.704 --> 00:47.482
Vermont , and it's been a great

00:47.482 --> 00:49.593
opportunity to work side by side with

00:49.593 --> 00:51.816
our civilian counterparts and integrate

00:51.816 --> 00:53.760
into the larger health care system

00:53.760 --> 00:55.704
under the guidance of the state of

00:55.704 --> 00:57.871
Vermont , the Department of Health and

00:57.871 --> 01:00.093
the governor . It's a great feeling . I

01:00.093 --> 01:02.260
think it's some . It's a rule that the

01:02.260 --> 01:04.371
National Guard is prepared to do that

01:04.371 --> 01:06.538
way , don't often have the opportunity

01:06.538 --> 01:08.704
to perform . And now here we are , and

01:08.704 --> 01:10.871
I think that what we offer here at the

01:10.871 --> 01:13.093
University of Vermont Medical Center is

01:13.093 --> 01:15.670
is extremely important . Way will

01:15.860 --> 01:18.350
overall increase the capacity of the

01:18.350 --> 01:21.270
medical system in this particular area

01:21.600 --> 01:25.540
and hopefully with the intent of

01:25.550 --> 01:26.650
flattening the curve
