CONROE, TX – Montgomery County Hospital District will host two Stop The Bleed classes free of charge and open to the public as a part of Stop The Bleed Month. They will be held this Saturday, May 25 at 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Registration is available on www.mchd-tx.org.

The class is motivated by the tragedy in December of 2012 at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut. An active shooter killed 26 people, including 20 children. This event and others like it have motivated experts to push for more training for bystanders and the general public since first responders can still be minutes away when someone has uncontrolled bleeding. Help during that delay could and will save lives. The Stop The Bleed interactive class details how to respond to these bleeding emergencies before help arrives.
