Wareham, MA, November 22, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Charles Gilbert, Ph.D., M.S., of United Alliance Services Corporation, was appointed as the lead scientist for the Ebola task force for Suffolk County, NY’s Department of Health Emergency Medical Services. Dr. Gilbert is an epidemiologist and toxicologist with over 20 years of experience.

Training includes demonstrations on the proper protocol for donning and doffing PPE and ambulance draping.

He truly cares about his students and wants them to have the best available information,” stated Marc Bianco, EVP/COO, United Alliance Services.
“Remember body substance isolation. If it is wet and gooey, and not yours, do not touch it!” is sage advice from Dr. Gilbert.
“We are thrilled to have an expert epidemiologist taking the lead for training for United Alliance Services during this Ebola virus outbreak. First responders who take his class can trust that they are in the best hands,” says Valerie Wakefield, CEO/President, United Alliance Services.
