On March 8th the Rotary Club of Mechanicsburg North welcomed their local trauma center – Geisinger Holy Spirit - to present an exciting program called Stop The Bleed (STB) and provide the hospital with a donation to purchase a bleeding control kit for a local school.  Stop The Bleed is a national initiative that aims to teach bleeding control techniques to the public so that lives can be saved prior to EMS arrival. Pennsylvania’s trauma centers are interested in partnering with their local rotary clubs to not only feature STB at a rotary meeting but also support them in purchasing bleeding control kits for every school and public area within Pennsylvania.  Rotary clubs can find the location of their closest trauma center by going to http://ptsf.org/index.php/our-trauma-centers/trauma-centers.  To learn more about Stop The Bleed go to:  https://www.bleedingcontrol.org/.
