His journey was not without obstacles, though. Just before completing the Phoenix Fire Academy, Pablo’s work visa was set to expire. Undeterred, he reached out to Arizona Congressman Greg Stanton, who helped him secure a new work visa, allowing Pablo to remain in Phoenix and serve his community.</span>

</span><span id="ms-rterangepaste-start"></span><span style="color:rgb(13, 13, 13);font-family:roboto, noto, sans-serif;font-size:15px;">The American College of Surgeons Stop the Bleed program has prepared nearly 4 million people worldwide on how to stop bleeding in a severely injured person. The City of Phoenix is excited to help grow that number! In September, the Office of Emergency Management launched its initiative aimed at training City of Phoenix employees in Stop the Bleed. With nearly 50 attendees, the first training was a major success.
RN Sara Latham from Valleywise health says, “the skills and techniques taught in the class can be learned by anyone and will equip them with the ability to help save a life before emergency responders arrive”.
The “Stop the Bleed” program is a one-hour course that teaches anybody in the community regardless of their level of training or skill, how to control emergency bleeding. Participants in the course learn how to identify life threatening bleeding and the 3 best ways to stop it.
Direct Pressure
Packing the wound
Application of a tourniquet.
This class is currently being offered to City of Phoenix employees. The idea of teaching employees these skills in effect creates a force multiplier of responders who can jump in and apply lifesaving skills, when necessary, in the event of workplace injuries or when they are out and about in the city performing the functions of their jobs.
The Class is taught by the Injury Prevention Alliance of Phoenix, which is a partnership between the Phoenix Fire Department, Valleywise Health, Banner Health, Honor Health, Dignity Health, and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Stop the bleed is in cooperation with the Department of Defense.
