Programa de Prevención de Lesiones de Valley Children's
Las lesiones no intencionadas son la principal causa de muerte de niños en Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo. Como líder en la prestación de atención médica pediátrica especializada, Valley Children's reconoce la importancia de la prevención de lesiones y trabaja en colaboración con los organismos de la comunidad para evitar esas tragedias.
Each year, Valley Children's employees provide injury prevention education to the community in a variety of forums: community events, educational sessions, and 1 on 1 appointments. When grant funding is available, the Injury Prevention Program can assist families by providing safety devices to meet families' needs, as resources allow.
