Health science students from South Lake High CNA and Allied Health programs took part in the annual Central Florida Mass Casualty Exercise at Advent Health Minneola Hospital and Orlando Health Blue Cedar Freestanding Emergency Room on Thursday, April 9th. Dubbed "Operation Skyfall," this was the largest medical surge exercise in the nation and involved every hospital in Brevard, Indian River, Lake, Martin, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, St. Lucie, and Volusia counties. Students and staff volunteered to play the role of victims in this vital exercise so that our local emergency rooms and hospitals can be better for an actual mass casualty event.
