Did you know that blood loss is the leading cause of preventable injury-related death, and fatalities can occur within minutes after a traumatic injury? In Boston, emergency responders can take an average of 8 minutes to arrive, a critical time during which lives can be lost. Effective control of traumatic blood loss is vital in these moments before help arrives. The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation is committed to empowering civilian community members with lifesaving skills to respond in times of emergency.
Join the Stepping Strong Center’s Program Director, Cheryl Lang, for a virtual Lunch & Learn Stop the Bleed training which will equip you with lifesaving techniques, including applying pressure, wound packing, and utilizing tourniquets. Feel free to extend the invite to your network too!
