TriStar Horizon CEO Wyatt Chocklett and Trauma Director Brent Nix were recognized by Humphreys County Schools Director Dr. Robbie Lanham for our ongoing partnership to provide Stop the Bleed, CPR, and AED training in local schools.
As part of this collaboration, Horizon donated lifesaving bleeding control kits for every classroom at McEwen and Waverly High Schools. Teachers Ashley Webb and Kelsey Rose were also recognized, along with dedicated parents and students from HOSA and Student Council, who help lead these lifesaving training initiatives within their schools.
At TriStar Horizon, we are committed to the communities we serve - extending partnership, education, and support beyond the walls of our hospital. We are grateful for the trust our neighbors place in us to provide lifesaving knowledge and skills.
Did you know? Severe bleeding can be fatal in as little as five minutes, but in just one hour, anyone can learn the basics of controlling life-threatening bleeding. Research shows that 20% of people who die from traumatic injuries could have survived with rapid bleeding control. The Stop the Bleed campaign - developed by the American College of Surgeons, the Committee on Trauma, and the Hartford Consensus - has a simple, but powerful mission: empower everyday people to save lives.
