You can too! The American College of Surgeons STOP THE BLEED® program has prepared over 2.1 million people worldwide on how to stop bleeding in a severely injured person.
Help us get STOP THE BLEED® supplies into the hands of those who need to save lives right now—the people of Ukraine.
Dr Lenworth Jacobs, MD, FACS, joined "All Things Considered" on Connecticut Public Radio to encourage everyone to visit the STOP THE BLEED website and find a nearby class.
Leaders from the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the ACS Committee on Trauma (ACS COT) have updated their recommendations for STOP THE BLEED® Courses.
While more than 1.9 million people have now been trained to STOP THE BLEED®, that’s just a start. Our goal is to train 200 million. Why? Because the purpose of the STOP THE BLEED® campaign is to make our nation more resilient by better preparing the public to save lives if people nearby are severely bleeding. This preparation is being done by raising awareness and teaching people how to learn three quick actions to control serious bleeding.
Working to train people to STOP THE BLEED® in all walks of life to save lives.
Through our STOP THE BLEED® course, you’ll gain the ability to recognize life-threatening bleeding and intervene effectively. The person next to a bleeding victim may be the one who’s most likely to save him or her. Take the course and become empowered to make a life or death difference when a bleeding emergency occurs. STOP THE BLEED®. Save a Life!
