Thanks to a community donation, Intermountain Fillmore Community Hospital has donated more than 200 Stop the Bleed kits to school classrooms in Millard County, Utah.
A local Fillmore employer, who wishes to remain anonymous, provided a generous donation of $9,500 to Intermountain Fillmore Community Hospital to fund the distribution of the first aid kits with tourniquets.
Intermountain Fillmore Hospital’s trauma department then teamed up with Intermountain Delta Community and local emergency medical service crews to distribute the kits.
“This has been a very humbling experience as I feel that our students, faculty, and community are safer because of this generous donation,” said Jeremy Teeples, Fillmore Middle School principal. “The Stop the Bleed kits are a big part of the overall safety of our schools, but I’m thankful for all the support that has been given to the schools of Millard County.”
Teeples also said the Millard county schools are safer today than they were before this collaborative effort.
“It is really exciting as a trauma program to receive a donation that allows us to provide training and kits to the classrooms in our district,” said Andrea Stephenson, RN, Intermountain Fillmore Hospital’s trauma program manager. “Providing these trainings has the ability to give teachers and community members a feeling of empowerment, knowing they can provide lifesaving help in a critical situation.”
With the help of the Delta Hospital trauma team and local EMS crews they have trained and provided each middle school in Fillmore area as well as high school health classes with Stop the Bleed training. Additionally, they have provided the training within the community.
Fillmore Community Hospital is a Level IV Trauma facility and works diligently at providing community outreach and education.
“We have maintained this designation continuously since 2012 after being the first rural Critical Access hospital in the state of Utah to achieve it,” said Wayne Brown, MD, trauma medical director for Intermountain Fillmore Hospital. “This requires review of every patient seen in our emergency department for trauma with an emphasis on continuous improvement of trauma care. Our trauma committee also provides community outreach locally.”
Part of the certification of a Trauma IV hospital is a commitment to a high standard of care and a responsibility of interacting with the community and addressing safety concerns and education.
“Supplying these Stop the Bleed kits is a great example of the Fillmore and Delta Hospital’s administrations’ commitment to the community to address safety concerns,” said John Resch, clinical operations director for Intermountain Health. “Trauma designated facilities must choose to embrace this opportunity – building relationships within the community and forming partnerships that benefit the community.”
