This blog post explores the significance of this campaign, the importance of “Stop the Bleed” training and its positive impact on the safety and well-being of the El Paso community.

  • Severe bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death in emergency situations. “Stop the Bleed” training is designed to educate individuals on how to control life-threatening bleeding effectively until professional medical help arrives. By teaching students these vital skills, ProAction EMS empowers them to become immediate responders in emergency scenarios, potentially saving lives and minimizing harm.

By initiating the “Stop the Bleed” training campaign, they demonstrate their commitment to equipping the community, starting with high school students, with the necessary skills to respond effectively during emergencies.
  • High schools are often bustling with students, making them ideal locations to educate and empower young individuals. By introducing “Stop the Bleed” training in El Paso high schools, ProAction EMS provides students with the knowledge and confidence to take immediate action in situations where lives are at stake. These skills extend beyond the school environment, benefiting the wider community in the event of emergencies.
  • ProAction EMS’s “Stop the Bleed” campaign involves collaboration between emergency medical professionals, school administrators, and educators. Through these collaborative efforts, comprehensive training programs can be developed and implemented effectively. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that students receive high-quality instruction and are prepared to respond calmly and efficiently during emergencies.
  • The introduction of “Stop the Bleed” training in El Paso high schools creates a culture of safety, preparedness, and community resilience. By equipping students with life-saving skills, ProAction EMS not only empowers them individually but also instills a sense of responsibility and readiness within the broader community. These trained students become advocates for emergency preparedness, inspiring others to seek similar training and promoting a safer environment for all.

By educating students on life-saving techniques, they equip the next generation with the skills to respond effectively during emergencies involving severe bleeding. Through this initiative, ProAction EMS fosters a culture of safety, resilience, and preparedness within the El Paso community. Their efforts set an inspiring precedent for other communities to prioritize emergency response training, ultimately saving lives and making our society safer as a whole.

EMT STUDENTS EAGER TO SERVE

The morning class of ProAction EMT students is graduating on March 24th. They are the latest group to learn to provide emergency medical care to the sick, injured, or wounded. Part of their instruction was using their knowledge to respond to real-life 911 medical calls.

This class has 20 students, ten women and ten men, each bringing their own background and perspectives. What they have in common could be bravery, but the EMT students say it’s all about the patients.

“I can hardly wait to get out there and make a difference in people’s lives.”

– Bernadette Moore, EMS student and ProAction graduate

Each class is taught by professional paramedics with decades of combined experience. One instructor was a Fort Bliss helicopter paramedic, before that a firefighter, and now an instructor.

“The best part of educating the next generation of EMTs is helping pass on the desire to be educated in Emergency Medical Services,” Instructor Robert Watts said.
