ACS Stop the Bleed advocacy agenda advances on Capitol Hill and in state capitols

[摘要] Stop the Bleed® remains one of the most active programs for both the Committee on Trauma (COT) and the Division of Advocacy and Health Policy (DAHP). At press time, more than 335,000 people had learned bleeding control techniques through the national Stop the Bleed program (approximately 315,000 in the U.S. and 20,000 in other countries), with more receiving instruction every day. Throughout 2018, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has worked with Fellows throughout the U.S. and in our nation’s capital to teach Stop the Bleed to legislators and congressional staff. In addition to potentially saving lives, providing Stop the Bleed training for congressional offices and state legislatures has helped to focus the public’s attention on this vital program. The following is a summary of ACS Stop the Bleed advocacy efforts on the state and federal level.
