Students in the Health Occupations Technology program at the Clearfield County Career and Technology Center (CCCTC) recently completed their STOP THE BLEED training. In a STOP THE BLEED^® course, students learn three quick techniques to help save a life before someone bleeds out: (1) How to use their hands to apply pressure to a wound; (2) How to pack a wound to control bleeding; (3) How to correctly apply a tourniquet. These three techniques will help assist in an emergency and potentially save a life. The Clearfield County Career and Technology Center is proud to highlight the talents and accomplishments of its students.
