Sumter Today: Sumter County EMS trains school personnel for an emergency casualty event

Posted

Last year, Sumter County EMS started a local version of the Stop the Bleed initiative to Thomas Sumter Academy, where they trained civilians to treat trauma after an emergency event such as a shooting so they can help keep a victim alive before professional medical personnel arrive. This week, they brought the initiative, which includes donating an equipment kit, to Westside Christian Academy.
