What is the pediatric Trauma program?
Pediatric Trauma remains the leading cause of death and injury among children ages 14 and under in the United States.
The mission of our Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP) is to develop local projects which will reduce the number of children in our three-state District who are killed or injured by trauma, ensuring all children live happy, healthy, and safe lives
