Stop the Bleed training offered at St. John's Episcopal

Please consider the following message, shared on behalf of our friends at St. John's Episcopal Church: 

I’m Bill Rowley, one of the wardens at St. John’s. I’m emailing to let you know about our Stop the Bleed training we’ll be hosting.

St. John’s Episcopal Church is hosting a free Stop the Bleed training on May 30 at 1:00 PM. We’d like to let you know about it in case you would like to publicize it to your congregation.

Stop the Bleed is a training put together by the American College of Surgeons and the DOD to teach people how to 

  • evaluate bleeding injuries for severity and

  • act quickly to slow or stop the bleeding until professional help arrives.

Traumatic bleeding is the biggest cause of preventable death after injury, and training makes a big difference.

This is the first in a series of events we’re hoping to put on over the next few months that focus on tangible, hands-on ways of carrying out Jesus’ command to love our neighbors as ourselves. Stop the Bleed equips people to step into the Samaritan’s shoes and truly be a neighbor to those in our community.

Here is the sign-up link for the event.
