South Park Teachers attend a "Stop The Bleed" session

The South Park School District and UPMC teamed up to bring the training to South Park on Tuesday, November 8 during a teacher and staff in-service day. The campaign teaches participants how to control life-threatening bleeding.

The morning’s training began with a presentation by UPMC surgeon Dr. Raquel Forsythe. Dr. Forsythe stressed that bystanders could be the first to respond to an injured person and outlined the actions anyone can take to save a life before EMS professionals arrive.

South Park teachers and staff then worked in small groups with professionals from UPMC and Tri Community South EMS to practice applying a tourniquet and packing a wound with gauze.

UPMC is providing bleeding control kits to schools in Western Pennsylvania as part of the Stop the Bleed initiative. The kits include a tourniquet, gauze and other equipment, in addition to guidance on how to provide care to victims. The South Park School District will place those kits near automated external defibrillators at South Park schools.
