Education and Resources
The State of Montana has partnered with The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma national STOP THE BLEED® campaign. The STOP THE BLEED® campaign was initiated by a federal interagency workgroup convened by the National Security Council Staff, The White House. The purpose of the campaign is to build national resilience by better preparing the public to save lives by raising awareness of basic actions to stop life threatening bleeding following everyday emergencies and man-made and natural disasters. Advances made by military medicine and research in hemorrhage control during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have informed the work of this initiative which exemplifies translation of knowledge back to the homeland to the benefit of the general public.
For more information on the program, how to become involved, and resources related to bleeding control please visit https://www.stopthebleed.org/
