STATE — The Travis Mills Foundation is proud to announce that it will host Direct Action Response Training, a two-day trauma care course provided by veteran-owned Dark Angel Medical. This essential training is open to the public and will take place February 15-16, 2025, at the Travis Mills Foundation campus located at 1002 Watson Pond Road, Rome, Maine.

The course runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. each day and is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to respond effectively in life-threatening situations. Whether you’re a first responder, outdoor enthusiast, or someone with no prior medical training, this hands-on training prepares you to be a “doer” rather than a bystander when seconds count.
