I’m proud to support important, life-saving training like this Stop the Bleed program hosted by Rutgers Cooperative Extension in partnership with Gloucester County Emergency Services.

This free training is geared toward our farming and agricultural community but is open to everyone and teaches critical skills that can truly save lives.

Space is limited, so I encourage folks to pre-register and take advantage of this great opportunity to learn how to help in an emergency.
