Bill > HR0114

This resolution declares May 22, 2025, as Stop the Bleed Day in Michigan, highlighting the critical importance of bleeding control in emergency situations. The resolution emphasizes the "Stop the Bleed" campaign, a national awareness effort to educate people about life-saving bleeding control techniques. It notes that trauma is the leading cause of death for individuals under 44 and that the most preventable cause of death in emergencies is excessive blood loss before professional help arrives. The resolution points out that each year over 240,000 people die from traumatic injuries caused by events like vehicle crashes, falls, accidents, and violence. It encourages Michigan citizens to learn bleeding control methods, such as using tourniquets or applying direct pressure, and underscores that anyone can be trained to be an immediate responder. The goal is to empower bystanders to help in bleeding emergencies and improve survival rates by providing knowledge and skills to control bleeding before medical professionals arrive.
