This is a national program to teach the lay person hemorrhage control by using direct pressure, wound packing and tourniquet application. It was created in response to mass casualty incidents, however, it can be used for earthquakes, car crashes, etc.
The same basic principles also apply to animals so some of what you learn can also be applied to pets and livestock.
Those who attend and complete the class will receive a certificate of completion.
An RSVP is highly recommended for this event. Class size is limited to 10. There will be a wait list, and the class will be held again if needed. For more information and to sign up for the class, please call Teresa Sitz at 760-367-9880, or visit WonderValley.org.
