CHARLEVOIX — Split second decisions can mean life and death, so in an accident it is important to have every tool you can to try and save a life.

That’s why kits from the Stop the Bleed Campaign are so important.

Charlevoix Chief of Police Jill McDonnell tells us that bleed control is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths. She adds “ having these kits available at public places allows people that are out there nearby to access them so they can help aid people that are have uncontrolled bleeding. ”

The stations were installed next to the City’s Automated External Defibrillators or AEDs in high-traffic public areas.

The kits are now available at:

Depot Beach

Michigan Beach

Ferry Beach

City Marina

City of Charlevoix Airport

Charlevoix Municipal Golf Course

Mt. McSauba Rec
