Stop the bleed

The stop the bleed campaign was initiated by the Department of Defense and several other entities to prevent massive losses after natural or man-made events. The goal is to improve survival after these events by controlling severe bleeding. The stop the bleed program is recommended at least once for students in 7th- 12th grade. Below is the link to House Bill 496 that encourages Stop the Bleed training and links to provide the training. Contact your school nurse for further details or in-person training.
