As we close out 2025, we’re proud to reflect on another impactful year of Stop the Bleed education across Central New York.

This year, our instructors delivered lifesaving training in multiple counties throughout CNY, reaching individuals of all ages and backgrounds—from high schools and community centers to local health departments and first responders.

📊 By the numbers:

✅ 776 individuals trained in 2025
✅ 4,485 individuals trained since program inception
✅ Second-highest training year in program history

One of the most meaningful milestones this year was the launch of a new partnership with Upstate University’s Medical School. For the first time, we trained all incoming first-year medical students, several of whom went on to become Stop the Bleed instructors themselves, strengthening the next generation of physician-leaders and educators.

This year also brought new instructors, expanded partnerships, and increased regional reach, reinforcing our commitment to empowering communities with the skills and confidence to act in life-threatening bleeding emergencies.

We are incredibly proud of our team, partners, and every participant who took the time to learn how to save a life.

We also would like to give a special shoutout to Syracuse Oasis for hosting monthly courses providing the community with an accessible location!

Thank you for helping us continue to build a safer, more prepared Central New York!
