Stop The Bleed Training

About Stop The Bleed

"Launched in October of 2015 by the White House, Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and a call to action. Stop the Bleed is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. No matter how rapid the arrival of professional emergency responders, bystanders will always be first on the scene.  A person who is bleeding can die from blood loss within five minutes, therefore it is important to quickly stop the blood loss. Those nearest to someone with life threatening injuries are best positioned to provide first care. According to a recent National Academies of Science study, trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under age 46."

NorthWest EMS believes in the importance of the Stop the Bleed Campaign. If you are interested in organizing a stop the bleed class for your local organization (i.e. girl scout group, youth group, school community, neighborhood, etc...), please contact Keith Jankowski at kjankowski@northwestems.net. Classes take approximately one hour and include both a powerpoint presentation on bleeding control techniques as well as hands on training with bleeding control models. 

For more information on the Stop the Bleed Campaign, please visit the following websites:

I want to say I have had great experience working with the men and women of this business for my 10 patient contacts for my EMT class.

treat you like family
I have had to call them several times for my mother who was having a severe asthma attack and when my brother amputated his toe. always prompt responses and they treat you like family. couldn't ask for a better service to treat my family. -Staci Concepcion
Thank God for Northwest EMS!
My car called 911 upon my accident. I was not physically able to do so. By the time I came back to reality I was being surrounded by paramedics who seamed to be working like a well oiled machine. Before I knew it I was on my way to Mercy. Thank God for Northwest EMS! -Adam Beaver
The Best
These folks are the BEST. Saved my life a few times. I trust them completely and am grateful they are in my community.
