Whitehall Far Out and Waiting Workshops June 16 and 24

Samantha Ferrat

Montana Farmers Union District Representative

Learn how to help save a life while waiting for EMS to arrive in rural areas during two Far Out & Waiting workshops planned from 6-8:30 p.m., June 16, and from 5:30-8 p.m., June 24, both at 200 West Second Street in Whitehall.

The free, public workshops are in partnership with Jefferson Valley EMS & Rescue, with the June 16 workshop covering the topics of basic trauma care, Stop the Bleed, and splinting and includes a complimentary meal.

The workshop on June 24 will cover hands-only CPR, AED use, cardiac emergencies, and neurological emergency care. The AG Cats 4-H Club is offering a tri-tip dinner for $15 beforehand at 5:30 p.m., and programming begins at 6 p.m.

The workshops are part of Far Out & Waiting programming from Montana Farmers Union, which partners with local EMS personnel to help rural community members know what to do in common medical emergencies until EMS can arrive.
