Pediatric Trauma . . . . . . Our Major Focus
Its Beginning . . . Recognizing the serious need for education and training in the areas of pediatric trauma and injury prevention, the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation established the Pediatric Trauma Program in 1994.
Our Mission . . . "To develop local projects, which will reduce the number of children in our District who are killed or injured by trauma."
Why PTP? • Unintentional injury remains the #1 killer of children age 14 and under in the U.S. • Unintentional injury kills more kids every year than any other cause – including disease, homicide and suicide!
Why PTP? • These injuries cost society $157 billion1 annually! • 90% of these injuries could be prevented! 1 Includes direct medical costs, future earnings lost and lost quality of life
How Do We Address These Needs? • Partner Hospitals • The Foundation’s partnership with six children’s hospitals connects the Kiwanis family to the issue of Pediatric Trauma • Utilizing the knowledge and expertise of our partner hospitals, we identify projects the Kiwanis family can undertake to address the issue of Pediatric Trauma
