Injury Prevention Program
Community Safety Is Our Priority
Shepherd Center is as deeply committed to preventing traumatic injuries as we treat them. Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability for young people through middle age. However, most traumatic injuries we see are preventable. That's why we're dedicated to dramatically reducing risks and increasing protective factors to create a safer environment to prevent critical injuries from occurring through our injury prevention program.
Our Injury Prevention Programs
Developing evidence-based initiatives to educate health professionals, policymakers, employers, and the public on injury prevention to make our communities and each other safer is one of our core strengths. We collaborate with state and federal agencies, private and public health organizations, schools, and our patients and families. Below are some of our current injury prevention programs and resources.
