Inova Loudoun Hospital to Host Free Stop the Bleed™ Workshop to Help Community Save Lives in Emergencies

As part of the national Stop the Bleed® campaign, the Inova Virts Miller Family Emergency and Trauma Center at Inova Loudoun Hospital is hostingfree, in-person workshop on Tuesday, March 10 from 5 to 7 p.m. This free course is designed for community members who may find themselves at the scene of an emergency.

This workshop takes on even greater significance following Inova Loudoun Hospital’s recent designation as a provisional Level II Trauma Center — the only one in Loudoun County. This new status reflects the hospital’s enhanced ability to provide immediate, comprehensive trauma care to critically injured patients and reinforces its role as a leader in emergency preparedness and community health education.

During an emergency, no matter how quickly emergency professionals respond, the individuals on-scene are best positioned to assist and potentially stop life-threatening blood loss. This is critical because a person who is bleeding profusely can die from blood loss within five minutes.

Workshop attendees will enhance their emergency preparedness by learning the difference between bleeding and life-threatening blood loss, and how to react to both. Participants will practice with tourniquets and wound packing.

The workshop will be held at Inova Loudoun Hospital, 44045 Riverside Pkwy., The Ladies Board Education Center, Suite 160, Leesburg. Follow signs for the South Hospital Entrance.Free on-site parking is available.

Participation is free but space is limited. To register visit inova.org/stopthebleed.
