Yesterday, Mercy Health - Marcum and Wallace provided Stop the Bleed Training for staff across the Estill County School District. This important training equips school personnel with the knowledge and skills to respond quickly and effectively in a critical emergency.

A special thank you to Jessica Samples, RN, and Meghan Mills, Director of Community Health, for leading this valuable, hands-on training. Their expertise helps equip our staff with lifesaving skills.

We appreciate their commitment to keeping our schools prepared and our students and staff safe.
