Uncontrolled bleeding is the number one cause of preventable death after an injury. With just three quick actions, people can be trained and empowered to save a life.
SCOPE of Orleans County is offering a free American College of Surgeons (ACS) Stop the Bleed course on Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Hoag Library, 134 South Main Street, Albion.
Registration is required as only 20 spots are available due to equipment limitations.
To secure a spot at the training, email scopeorleans@outlook.com with your name, number of seats requested, and phone number. A confirmation email will be sent for all approved registrations.
There is no minimum age requirement, though parents/guardians should be aware that the course includes graphic images and content. Instructors have successfully taught children of all ages.
This is the first time SCOPE has offered this training in partnership with the Genesee and Orleans County Health Department (GO Health), which is supplying both instructors and equipment. If demand exceeds available seats, additional sessions will be scheduled.
