  2. Trauma Facts Injury—the No. 1 killer of Hoosiers under 45. For every trauma death in the United States … Approximately 10 people are hospitalized and transferred to specialized medical care. Problems posed by injury are most acute in our rural areas: 60% of all trauma deaths occur in areas of the United States where only 25% of the population lives.

  3. Trauma Facts More than 32,000 Hoosiers are hospitalized every year from injuries, and more than 3,000 died in 2010. About 11 Hoosiers per day died from injuries (2007-2010). Indiana’s special injury challenge: We rank first in the nation for interstate highway miles per land area. When seriously injured patients taken to trauma centers-- Preventable death rate DROPS by as much as 30%
