The Jackson Ambulance Service District (JPASD) is providing high-quality, medically approved tourniquets to Jackson Parish First Responders, ensuring they are properly equipped to control life-threatening bleeding at the scene of emergencies. 

This is made possible by JPASD receiving a grant from  The Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties in the amount of $1,432.00 for the purchase of 60 tourniquets through The First 60 seconds: JPASD Bleeding Control Initiative (awarded in 2025 HERO grant round).

Founded in 1952, the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties envisions a vibrant region with opportunity for all. In fulfillment of its “Engage. Invest. Lead” mission, the Community Foundation has transformed decades of donor generosity into $150 million invested in social impact initiatives, collaborative leadership, and grantmaking.

The JPASD also announces that if you are a Jackson Parish First Responder, please contact the office at (318)259-2877 for the next “Stop the Bleed” class.
