A southside hospital is offering a class to help people learn how to control bleeding.
Franciscan Health offers free training to teach non-medical personnel how to stop life-threatening bleeding through wound packing and tourniquet use. The hospital is bringing the “Stop The Bleed” class to the Franciscan Health Education Center, 421 N. Emerson Ave., Greenwood at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The course is a combination of lecture and hands-on training on wound-packing and tourniquet use to train, equip and empower the bystander in the critical first minutes after a trauma injury that causes bleeding.
Advance online registration is required and can be done at events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/eventReg?oeidk=a07efek3a0j9f74d824&oseq=&c=&ch=
