Learn how to stay safe and respond confidently to injuries, severe weather, and emergencies in the High Country during this Wilderness Medicine Health Talk.

Description

Wilderness Medicine: Prepared for the Unexpected with Dr. Brendle

Whether it’s a hike on the Blue Ridge Parkway, a kayaking trip down the New River, a ski day with family, or simply navigating life in the mountains during severe weather, unexpected situations can happen quickly in the High Country!

Join David Brendle, DO for a fun, interactive conversation about Wilderness Medicine. Through real-life outdoor scenarios and “what would you do?” moments, attendees will learn practical ways to respond when injuries, weather, or emergencies happen before help can arrive.

This talk isn’t just for the outdoor adventurer, it’s for anyone who lives, works, travels, or spends time in our mountains. After experiences like Hurricane Helene reminded us how important preparation and quick thinking can be, this session will offer tips to help you feel more confident, calm, and prepared in everyday emergencies.

After you've submitted this registration, you will receive emailed instructions on how to join the virtual Webinar.
