Free Stop the Bleed Class

As part of the second annual National Stop the Bleed Day, Mercy Trauma Services is offering a free Stop the Bleed class to the community on Wednesday, May 23^rdfrom 9 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. at Mercy Medical Center in the hospital’s Mercy Hall Auditorium, 1320 Mercy Drive N.W., Canton. Mercy staff members use a hands-on approach to teach participants how to apply direct pressure, pack wounds and use tourniquets. The Stop the Bleed class is important for everyone in the community to take – the training and skills learned in this class are vital to potentially saving someone’s life in the event of a bleeding emergency. Mercy feels so strongly about the Stop the Bleed initiative that Mercy Trauma Center staff will also provide the class for free to anyone in the community that is willing to host a class.

Registration is requested as spaces are limited. To RSVP for the May 23^rdclass, or to bring the Stop the Bleed program to your group or organization, call 330-489-1000 ext. 3546 or e-mail David.Morris@cantonmercy.org.
