Northcentral Technical College, 1000 W Campus Dr., Wausau
This free program is presented by Wausau Metro Strong in partnership with the Aspirus Health, the Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce and Northcentral Technical College. Nobody plans to be a victim or to witness a tragedy, but anyone can be a hero by learning several life-saving techniques. A person with uncontrolled bleeding can die within five minutes, so it is important to quickly stop blood loss. Anyone at the scene of a motor vehicle crash, workplace injury, mass shooting or other emergency can act as an immediate responder and save lives … if they know what to do. Aspirus Wausau Hospital’s Trauma Team will teach attendees basic techniques to control bleeding using their hands, dressings and tourniquets. Registration is required.
