Traumatic injuries are the most serious and most preventable of all major health problems.
Trauma is considered an epidemic in our society and accounts for one of the most expensive health problems in the United States. Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death in children resulting in approximately 7,000 deaths a year. The pediatric trauma service admits approximately 500 children each year.
