SCOPE of Orleans County offering ‘Stop the Bleed’ training on April 12

Press Release, Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments

ALBION – In partnership with the Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments (GO Health) and Orleans County Office of Emergency Management, SCOPE of Orleans County is excited to offer a free Stop the Bleed course on Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to noon at the Hoag Library, 134 South Main St., Albion.

Uncontrolled bleeding is the number one cause of preventable death after an injury. With just three quick actions, you can be trained and empowered to save a life.

Registration is required as only 20 spots are available due to equipment limitations. To secure your spot, email scopeorleans@outlook.com with your name, number of seats requested, and phone number. A confirmation email will be sent for all approved registrations.

There is no minimum age requirement, though we encourage parents/guardians to be aware that the course includes graphic images and content. Instructors have successfully taught children of all ages.

The partnership with GO Health and Orleans County Office of Emergency Management makes this training possible, supplying both instructors and equipment. This is our first time offering this training. If demand exceeds available seats, we will schedule additional sessions.
