Impact Tucson 3.0 Creating Community Superheroes!

This particular write-up: Impact Tucson 3.0 Creating Community Superheroes! was initially seen on ICSAVE.org website

Tucson now has 60 more community superheroes among their ranks! On Saturday, July 28, 2018th, these dedicated young men, women and children completed the necessary educational requirements to obtain American College of Surgeon’s Bleeding Control Certification as part of the Tucson Unified School District’s Impact Tucson 2018. Civilians need basic training in Bleeding Control principles so they can provide immediate, frontline aid until first responders can take over care of an injured person. Due to many situations, there may be a delay between the time of injury and the time a first responder is on the scene. Without civilian intervention in these circumstances, preventable deaths may occur. Although no single set of skills or response can fit all injury, trauma, or active violence situations, making sure everyone knows his or her options and can react decisively will save valuable time and lives. As members of our extended community family, these exceptional men, women and children now have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help save a life! We want to extend a special thank you to the Tucson Unified School District and the Pima County School Superintendent for making these lifesaving presentations and skills possible.
