Bothwell Regional Health Center to offer free Stop the Bleed class

Bothwell Regional Health Center will offer a Stop the Bleed class free to the community on Friday, Nov. 22.

According to the Coalition for National Trauma Research, traumatic injuries are the leading cause of death in people aged 1 to 45. The national Stop the Bleed initiative, launched in 2015, educates and prepares the public to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

The free class is from 8 am to noon and will meet in the Bothwell Education Center at 600 E. 14th Street.
