Philadelphia Hospitals Recognized For Their Coordinated Response To Amtrak Derailment
Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary, today, gave recognition awards to the Philadelphia hospitals that treated 200 injured passengers on the night the Amtrak derailment last month.
Local hospitals drill regularly for mass casualty events but, as Temple University Hospital president John Kastanis says, they can’t really know how well they’ll do until they hear those dreaded words: “This is NOT a drill.”
