Seth C. Hawkins, MD<\/strong> Among many things, living in a pandemic taught us how critical outdoor spaces are to our health and wellness. When many other North Carolina governmental entities closed, most NC State Parks and national parks, forests, and wilderness areas remained open throughout much of the pandemic. However, in the midst of record volumes of visitors, this experience also reinforced the value of modern wilderness medicine and risk management principles in preventing and managing injuries and illness in outdoor spaces in North Carolina. Dr. Hawkins will discuss how to optimize safety and quality medical care in NC wilderness environments.<\/p>\n Live Virtual Presentation hosted by NC Museum of Natural Sciences’ SECU Daily Planet Curator Chris Smith and the NC Department of Environmental Quality Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs staff.<\/em><\/p>\n You can post questions in the YouTube chat or tweet questions to #LunchTimeDiscovery and mention @NorthCarolinaEE.<\/p>\n Brought to you by the NC DEQ Office of Environmental Education and Public Affairs and the NC Museum of Natural Sciences.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Seth C.
