LEARN HOW TO STOP THE BLEED®
Franciscan Healthcare wants to help you save lives.
Uncontrolled bleeding is a major cause of preventative deaths. Approximately 40% of trauma-related deaths worldwide are due to bleeding or its consequences, establishing hemorrhage as the most common cause of preventable death in trauma.
Though manmade or natural mass casualty events get a lot of attention, serious bleeding is more likely to result from everyday injuries that happen at home, at work, or while on the road.
The STOP THE BLEED® program teaches you how to properly use dressings, tourniquets and your own hands to control bleeding, regardless of the cause.
Franciscan Healthcare's Anne Liska, PA-C, has received an educational license from the Department of Defense to train STOP THE BLEED® courses in West Point, Howells, Wisner, Oakland, Scribner, and Wayne, Nebraska.
Class length is approximately one-hour and is FREE OF CHARGE.
