Uncontrolled bleeding is the number one cause of preventable death from trauma. Members of the Medical Reserve Corps of Dutchess County will teach participants various ways to control bleeding, whether you only have two hands to use or have a full trauma first aid kit available. This program includes a hands on portion, allowing participants to practice wound compressions and the appropriate use of a tourniquet.

  • Note: Registration for these classes will begin the Monday prior to each class.
    Lunch may
    not be eaten during class.
