Todd Feeney, of Syracuse Hospital, practices intubating a mannequin during hands-on advanced skills workshop provided by StarCare at the Lied Building on the Doane University Campus, Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, in Crete. Area medical practitioners took part in an advanced airway and cadaver-based procedural skills workshop with focus on high-acuity, life-saving procedures. The training exercise was designed and put on by StarCare to help rural practitioners strengthen skills they may not get to use on a regular basis. These skills, which may only be used occasionally by rural practitioners, end up saving lives. Which is why practicing these life saving procedures on real life cadavers and realistic mannequins is a safe way to brush up on skills that can save future lives.
