The difference between life and death is sometimes only seconds, and a partnership between Vidant Health, the East Carolina Police Department and Pitt County Schools is aiming to make those precious seconds count.
“Stop the Bleed,” a campaign that was pushed following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012, is finding its footing locally as medical professionals from Vidant Health are working to help spread knowledge about tourniquets and provide training that can help save lives. The campaign’s mission is to “cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.”
