A spike in the number of cases of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) over the past year has been in the headlines, and it is indeed very scary news.
"Stop the Bleed" is a nationally recognized program designed to teach non-medical people, the everyday members of the community, the importance of stopping hemorrhage. In addition, it teaches the skills necessary to control and if possible, stop bleeding in people with traumatic injuries.
Join friends of the FHN Leonard C. Ferguson Cancer Center for taste-tempting treats, live music, and fun at the Food Fight Against Cancer on Friday, April 5th at the Grand River Hall in Freeport!
