Platinum Educational Group at the 2025 Shenandoah Valley EMS Expo Z Con!
Being an exhibitor at the Shenandoah Valley EMS Expo was a rewarding experience for our team. It is always great to connect with other EMS Professionals, and having pediatric-focused training was especially valuable.
The zebra metaphor extending to healthcare providers and patients, many whom feel they have "lost their stripes" in recent years, showcasing vulnerability and exhaustion - the goal was to unite emergency care providers with education and affirmation while earning CE credits was outstanding.
Well done everyone!
