TriState Health Foundation has received a $5,000 donation from Clearwater Paper to support the Trauma Prevention Program’s Stop the Bleed Kits.
The Trauma Injury Prevention Program is currently facilitating a Stop the Bleed School Project throughout Asotin County. Stop the Bleed’s primary purpose is to educate, empower, and equip bystanders to act during a bleeding emergency prior to the arrival of first responders.
Staff in the Emergency department lead TriState Health’s Trauma Injury Prevention Program. Each year, the TIPP team focuses on community education to help reduce trauma-related injuries that can cause disability or death. The program provides information on ways to reduce injuries and assists individuals and families experiencing financial hardship, giving them the tools they need to lower their risk of injuries.
