Bothwell Regional Health Center to Offer Free ‘Stop the Bleed’ Class

Bothwell Regional Health Center will offer a Stop the Bleed class free to the community on Thursday, Aug. 29.

According to the National Trauma Institute, hemorrhaging is responsible for almost 35% of pre-hospital deaths and 40% of deaths in the first 24 hours after a traumatic event. The national Stop the Bleed initiative, launched in 2015, educates and prepares the public to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

The free class is from 8 a.m., to noon and will meet in the Bothwell Education Center at 600 E. 14th Street in classrooms two and three.
