Injury Prevention and Community Outreach
Orlando Health ORMC Level One Trauma Center is committed to reducing trauma in our community by sharing valuable education and training. The trauma prevention program focuses on community interventions and education through our exceptional relationships with EMS, law enforcement and community prevention partners such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), county traffic safety teams, SafeKids, and the Red (EMS), White (healthcare providers) and Blue (law enforcement) team.
Trauma is Preventable
The majority of injuries in adults and children can be prevented by taking simple precautions to avoid injury to yourself and others. Seat belts, for example, are an easy way to prevent serious injury to yourself and your passengers. Placing children in proper safety restraints (car seats, booster seats, etc.) and in the back seat is also an easy way to prevent injury to your most prized people – plus, it's the law.
We urge you to review safety tips when it comes to pedestrians, defensive driving, water safety, lightning, alcohol, gun safety, boating safety, poison control and protection, and preventing burns. Being informed and following the law are excellent ways to prevent trauma and even save your life or the life of a loved one.
