Good morning, !

This Saturday, May 31, 2025

8:30 a.m. Breakfast, recap of last weekend's fundraiser, and an expected discussion with two guests of a planned Community Service Committee event in conjunction with Weston Volunteer EMS for the benefit of the community: a hands-on life-saving training event, Stop the Bleed®.

Michael J. Vincelli, CHS IV, FABCHS, DABCHS, CNTA, CHPP, is Director of Emergency Preparedness/Response at Aspetuck Health District, Deputy Emergency Management Director for the Town of Weston, and is a Certified Stop the Bleed® instructor.

Tom Janson, JD, EMT-P, EMS-I, is Captain and Training Officer with Weston Volunteer EMS, a beneficiary of our 2025 Reservoir Run Half Marathon. Weston Volunteer EMS will provide support for the hands-on training. Tom is an Emergency Medical Technician-Paramedic, the highest level of pre-hospital emergency care provider, and an Emergency Medical Services Instructor. He trains and educates other EMS personnel. 

STOP THE BLEED® is a national campaign that empowers bystanders to learn how to control life-threatening bleeding in emergencies before professional medical help arrives. It's essentially a "CPR for bleeding," teaching simple, yet effective, techniques to stop the flow of blood. 

The American College of Surgeons (ACS) spearheaded development of the Stop the Bleed program, while the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) launched it and owns the STOP THE BLEED® logo and phrase. The DoD licenses the ACS to administer the program and create the training courses.
