“Stop the Bleed” in-person training class

CCACC Health Center is pleased to announce a one-hour “Stop the Bleed” training course scheduled for January 15th (Monday, MLK day) at 1:00 PM in classroom 205 at the Chinese Culture and Community Service Center (CCACC). We encourage interested citizens to actively enroll in this course to enhance their emergency bleeding control skills.

Bleeding is a primary life-threatening risk following injuries, and swift bleeding control can be crucial in saving lives. The “Stop the Bleed” program is a vital course designed to teach individuals how to effectively control bleeding. The course aims to raise public awareness of bleeding control skills to address sudden situations such as accidents or natural disasters.

“STOP the Bleed” comprises three main steps (ABC):

• A (Alert): Alert. Immediately call emergency services, report the victim's condition, and request assistance.
• B (Bleeding): Bleeding control. Assess the victim's bleeding, quickly locate the source, and take appropriate steps to stop the bleeding.
• C (Compress): Compress. Use a compressive device (such as a tourniquet or clothing) to apply pressure to the bleeding location, minimizing blood loss.

This course will be led by students from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. By participating in the “Stop the Bleed” training, attendees will gain the skills to provide effective first aid in emergency situations.
