The Gouverneur Hospital camp was held with the Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization, while the Canton-Potsdam Hospital camp was held with the Northern Area Health Education Center. Students also completed CPR training, basic first aid and Narcan instruction; those who completed the CPR session earned certification.
