York Technical College to Host Stop the Bleed Event Aimed at Saving Lives in Our Community

Free Stop the Bleed Training – It’s CPR’s Cooler Cousin

On Thursday, May 23, York Technical College will host a free “Stop the Bleed” training day for the community. Certification only takes one hour, and our goal is to certify 200 people. The event will take place at the Rock Hill campus in the Anne Springs Close Learning Commons starting at 1 p.m.

 

Why Stop the Bleed?

Every second counts in a bleeding emergency. With these skills, YOU can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved. This training will empower you to act in dire situations, arming you with the knowledge and experience to save someone's life.

A schedule for the day’s events is listed below:
