This afternoon (1:00 Eastern) First Aid Mart will proudly be participating in the Public Announcement of the Bystander “Stop the Bleed” initiative at the White House.

The ”Stop the Bleed” objectives:

  • The general public will know the phrase and associated logo: “Stop the Bleed”
  • The general public will be able to have access to lifesaving bleeding control kits at home and in public places.
  • Every bleeding control kit will provide “just in time” audio and visual training
