Medical simulations help doctors and nurses prepare for different situations they’ll face. For the best training, they need to be as real as possible. One woman behind the scenes is using her creativity and a little bit of science to make that happen.
When a portion of the parking garage at Ascension St. Vincent’s collapsed this week in Riverside, it brought to light the lack of inspections required for garages across Jacksonville.
One thing that was speculated in the hours after the collapse was whether water damage deteriorated concrete and the rebar embedded in it. But one engineer said water damage is not the only potential cause.
There is still no word on what caused a parking garage on the campus of Ascension St. Vincent’s to partially collapse this week, and the buildings around it are still condemned and likely will be for weeks to come.
Madonna Nichols is the Administrative Director of Women and Children Services at Ascension St. Vincent’s. She said making the list was a wonderful surprise and a compliment to her team’s hard work.
