Longs Peak Hospital Foundation 720.718.3015 LPH-Foundation@uchealth.org Your generosity helps save lives Apr 29, 2021 Longs Peak Hospital joined a collaboration with Longmont United Hospital and the City of Longmont to launch Stop the Bleed trainings for teachers in the St. Vrain Valley School District (SVVSD). Foundation supporters made it possible for us to contribute 140 Stop the Bleed kits, including 20 kits placed with trained teachers at six local high schools. The American College of Surgeons developed the Stop the Bleed program to save lives by educating people on how to recognize life-threatening bleeding and intervene effectively. “Uncontrolled bleeding is the number one cause of preventable death in trauma,” said Val Peaslee, LPH trauma services manager. “The greater the number of people who know how to control bleeding in an injured patient, the greater the chances of survival. SVVSD teachers have shared their excitement in learning these skills, and several even said that they plan to buy tourniquets as stocking stuffers this Christmas for their family members to have on hikes and in their cars.” Longs Peak Hospital Foundation 970.237.7400 Memorial Hospital Foundation 719.365.4483 UCHealth Highlands Ranch Hospital 303.752.8120 UCHealth Northern Colorado Foundation 970.237.7400 University of Colorado Hospital Foundation 303.752.8120 Yampa Valley Medical Center Foundation 970.871.0700 Who we are Board of Directors Mission & Vision Our hospital Policies Staff Programs Employee scholarships Grateful Patient Giving Guardian Angel Healthy Hearts Give Corporate giving Employee giving Online giving Gift planning Impact Stories Events Corn Hole Tournament Clay Shoot Longs Peak Hospital Foundation 1750 E.
