UMC's Stop The Bleed

As the region’s only Level 1 Trauma Center, University Medical Center of El Paso is reminding the public of the importance of knowing how to control bleeding in case of an emergency.

The Stop The Bleed program, which was founded by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), encourages people to become immediate responders until professional help arrives.

Here is a quick video from UMC’s Trauma Department which shows how anybody can help in an emergency.
