4/27 STOP-THE-BLEED TRAINING

Creekside’s Safety Team is bringing in representatives from the Urbandale Police and Fire Departments to provide free bleed control training at Creekside on Saturday, April 27th from 9:30 to about 11:30 AM. STOP the BLEED is a program designed to encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. Participants will learn the basics of applying pressure, dressing and tourniquet to bleeding wounds. A light breakfast and coffee will be provided. Please RSVP to Mike Johnson or Ryan Carter, or email safety@creeksidedm.com. For more information on the STOP the BLEED program, visit BleedingControl.org.
