Trauma prevention and community outreach

Stop the Bleed

Stop the Bleed is a national public awareness campaign to better prepare bystanders in the event of bleeding emergencies. Mercy Trauma Services offer free Stop the Bleed classes for healthcare providers, schools, churches, local businesses and individuals interested in learning ways to manage severe bleeding! No prior medical training is needed. We would love to get everyone involved!

If you have questions or want to enroll, please contact Mallory Haas at mallory.haas@allina.com
