Because death from bleeding can occur within three to five minutes, being prepared for medical emergencies is crucial. To help equip the public, Baptist Health Community Outreach is hosting a recurring monthly “Stop the Bleed” class.
The program operates under the important reminder that "Training Today Can Save a Life Tomorrow." This free training session teaches community members exactly what it takes to step in and “Stop the Bleed” before emergency responders arrive.
During each one-hour session, participants will:
-Recognize life-threatening bleeding.
-Practice life-saving skills.
-Earn a certificate.
The recurring classes are currently scheduled for Sept. 29, Oct. 29 and Nov. 16. Each session will run from 5:30-6:30 p.m. All training sessions will be held in person at the Baptist Health Community Outreach office, located at 10117 Kanis Road in Little Rock.
