STOP THE BLEED–Flight Nurse Breanna Bingel is pictured instructing Scott McMaster how to pack a wound while there is an active bleed, while LeLonie Dorf and Diane Schoenbeck look on, at a recent Stop the Bleed training event.
On Tuesday, Feb. 28, community members received free Stop the Bleed training through a partnership with Sparta Community Hospital and ARCH Air Medical.
Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign directed by the American College of Surgeons that is intended to encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
