NEW LONDON — New London Hospital will be participating in the National Stop the Bleed Day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 31.
Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and a call to action, according to information on the event. It stated that up to 20 percent of trauma deaths could be prevented each year with effective bleeding control.
Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.
Hour-long sessions will be held at New London Hospital Saturday. Beginning at 9 a.m. a new session will start each hour, on the hour in the Weber Conference Room. These sessions are open to the public and no RSVP is required.
