Want to save a life? Now’s your chance.

St. Tammany Health System has released the schedule for its free monthly Stop the Bleed classes for 2022.

The hourlong classes, which are open to the public, will be held in the conference center on the first floor of the new South Tower on the health system’s main campus in Covington. Those interested can sign up through the calendar module on the main page of StTammany.health.

The schedule, which is subject to change, is as follows. All classes are from 10 to 11 a.m.:

  • Thursday, Jan. 4
  • Wednesday, Feb. 9
  • Thursday, March 17
  • Monday, April 18
  • Wednesday, May 4

The Stop the Bleed program is part of a national initiative to train members of the community to stabilize a wound until EMTs arrive.

“The number one cause of a preventable death is hemorrhage, or bleeding out,” said St. Tammany Health System Trauma Services Manager Bethany Monistere, the driving force behind the health system’s Stop the Bleed program. “But it’s not that hard to put on a tourniquet or identify life-threatening bleeding. If you can arm citizens with this information to control bleeding, you can save someone’s life.”
