In 2023, Hatzola Northwest organized a Trauma Day, enhancing the skills and preparedness of its dedicated responders. This specialized training day was meticulously designed to provide responders with hands-on experience and knowledge crucial for managing trauma calls effectively. Throughout the event, participants engaged in various realistic scenarios, simulating the unpredictable nature of emergency situations, ensuring that responders were well-equipped to handle a diverse range of traumatic scenarios.
The Trauma Day left an indelible mark on the Hatzola Northwest responders, equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to navigate challenging trauma situations. The event not only served as a testament to the organization's dedication to ongoing training but also emphasized the importance of a supportive community within Hatzola Northwest. As responders gained practical insights into trauma management, they also forged stronger bonds, reinforcing the sense of unity and shared purpose that defines the Hatzola Northwest community.

"I used Hatzola a week and a half ago after cutting my thumb with a rather sharp and serrated kitchen knife. Everybody from the lady on the phone to the 2 medics that attended, helped me feel calm and I knew I was in safe hands. Being 32 weeks pregnant with my first child I was getting a bit nervous as there was a lot of blood but the medics calmly dressed it and told me to go to hospital to get it glued."
"I feel very honoured to be part of a community where we are so well looked after, especially by the staff at Hatzola who are walking Angels and true examples of being selfless. An incredible organisation, efficient and well organised. Will be a priority of my charity from now on...."
