Nutritional Supplements: What You Need to Know
DATE/TIME TBD
Nutrient deficiency is widespread in the American population, especially in the 60+ population. Most people do not consume an optimal amount of vitamins by diet alone. Pending strong evidence of effectiveness from randomized trials, it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements. In this course we will cover how supplements are made, what you want to see in a supplement by way of therapeutic ranges and ingredients, what you DON'T want to see in a supplement such as add fillers and questionable ingredients. Based on the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), a report card from the USDA on the American people, we will learn what are the most critical nutrients you most likely are deficient in, when is the best time to take them, which supplements could be contraindicated which pharmaceuticals, and dosage adjustments for specific populations (pregnant, children, elderly, etc). This is purely educational and not meant to be diagnostic.

Stop the Bleed Monday
DATE/TIME TBD
What would you do in a mass shooting event or if you came upon a car accident? In large tragic events, many victims will die from uncontrolled bleeding. The Stop the Bleed program teaches bystanders how to stop bleeding until first responders arrive. This course will teach the correct techniques for applying a tourniquet, packing a wound and how to properly apply pressure dressings. Participants will also learn how to identify certain wounds and the special care those wounds require. A certificate of completion will be provided at the end of the training to participants that are able to successfully demonstrate their ability to Stop the Bleed.
