Mosaic Life Care is once again ready to offer medical services to coaches, players, staff, and visitors to Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp on the Missouri Western State University campus in Saint Joseph.
Trauma and Stroke Services program manager and lead medical contact for training camp, Jonathan Eivins, says there are two triage tents this year, along with cooling stations and a medical building on site.
"We're going to have our staff roving in certain areas and keeping track of everybody and watching out for any kind of conditions that can arise, such as lacerations or heat exhaustion," Eivins said.
With summer temperatures soaring recently, Eivins advises visitors to dress appropriately, wear bright colors to reflect sunlight, and stay hydrated.
Eivins also noted there is equipment available to assist with any potential life-threatening conditions.
Mosaic Life Care is positioned to tend to as many people as possible during training camp. Eivins says in a 2 1/2 hour period, staff can attend to as many as twenty-five to thirty people.
Medical staff will be dressed in electric blue outfits this year, and Eivins encourages attendees to flag down staff if they notice anyone needing help.
Two ambulances will be on sight in the case of life-threatening emergencies.
