first aid stations

Injury treatment spots

First aid stations are designated locations where basic emergency medical treatment is provided, typically at large events, workplaces, or public venues.

They're staffed to handle minor injuries and stabilize serious conditions until professional help arrives: The marathon had first aid stations every two miles.

The term also applies to military facilities for treating wounded soldiers near combat zones.
