The Stop the Bleed class was recently presented for the Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) Club at Notre Dame High School, East Stroudsburg. This club is geared for students interested in pursuing careers in medicine after graduation.

The program was led by the Lehigh Valley Hospital - Pocono Injury Prevention Coordinator Jamie Chase. The education focused on teaching lifesaving emergency skills. Students learned how to control severe bleeding by applying direct pressure, using wound-packing techniques and properly placing tourniquets.

This presentation provided important medical knowledge and practical skills that could help save lives in emergency situations while inspiring students to continue exploring healthcare careers.

The dedication, resilience and commitment to excellence has prepared each of them to serve their communities. We also extend our sincere appreciation to Andre Harris, recipient of the Preceptor of the Year Award for outstanding mentorship and support of our students in the field and to Amanda Yanisch, recipient of the Adjunct Faculty Award for exceptional dedication to the education of our students. Lastly, thank you to all of our EMS precepting agencies, adjunct faculty and clinical preceptors for your support in the education of the paramedics of yesterday, today and the future!
