How does one help in the wake of recent tragic events? Do you know how to save a life?
Stop the Bleed is a nationwide initiative in response to incidents of shootings and penetrating trauma. Unfortunately in previous attacks, students and citizens lost their lives because of uncontrolled bleeding.
IU Health Arnett has been hosting Stop the Bleed training events in our local schools for the past year. Stop the Bleed trains people to pack wounds, apply direct pressure and apply tourniquets as needed. It is a goal to have Stop the Bleed kits at locations where AEDS are found, in schools and public places.
IU Health Frankfort Hospital will be offering two free Stop the Bleed classes on Monday, Oct. 23, from 1-2 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 26, from 6-7 p.m. Both classes will be held at the IU Health Frankfort Hospital boardroom.
Class size is limited. Please contact Teresa Williams at 765-838-5119 or email at [email protected].
