problems; or even a tremor to

“Carl,” the male manne-
quin is made of heavy-duty
material that is built to with-
stand tracheotomies, needle
sticks, intubation and more.
“Noelle,” the female manne-
quin can give birth, present
with a breech child, and even
birth twins.
“It’s very rare — maybe
once or twice in their career
will a paramedic deliver a
baby in field,” said Papke.
“These mannequins give
them the experience they need
to help them be prepared for
when that time may come.”
The ECAHEC has an ad-
ditional four “Kelly” manne-
quins, which are not as high-
tech, three child-size manne-
quins, and one NICU baby.
Classes range from one
hour to full-day training and
are provided at no charge
to schools and area fire
personnel.
“The medical field has
always been something
that has interested me, but
I never had any specific ca-
reer I’ve wanted to take,”
says Shawna Ferrell, one of
Heather Johnson’s 11th-grade
health students at Sisters High
School. “The ECAHEC visit
was so much fun and a good
experience to figure out what
I wanted to do. Doing CPR
on ‘Carl’ felt so real – like
an actual person. I even got a
chance to intubate him. From
the experience I’ve come to
the conclusion that I would
enjoy any emergency medical
field.”
In addition to traveling
and providing workshops the
ECAHEC also coordinates
Diagnosis Day, a program
for high school students from
rural Central Oregon with an
interest in healthcare careers.
Student participants follow
a “patient” from incident to
ambulance to emergency
room. Throughout the entire

experience students witness
all aspects of the healthcare
industry including rehab, re-
covery, and release.
During Diagnosis Day, a
typical scenario shows the
“patients” presenting with
something the students can
identify with, like a bike ac-
cident where a helmet wasn’t
worn or trauma from a car
accident caused by distracted
driving.
the eCaheC visit was
so much fun and a good
experience to figure out

“We hope to inspire the
next generation of healthcare
workers,” says Papke. “Now,
with the ambulance donation,
we have a great vehicle to take
to our workshops throughout
the region and market what
we are doing.”
