Injury Prevention
Empowering Families and Protecting Children
Every child deserves the opportunity to grow, play, explore, and thrive in a safe environment. We partner with families, caregivers, schools, and community organizations to help prevent injuries before they happen through education, outreach, advocacy, and evidence-based resources. While unintentional injuries remain the leading cause of hospitalization and death for children, St. Luke’s is committed to empowering our communities with practical safety information and tools that help keep children safe. Together we can create healthier, safer communities where every child has the chance to flourish.
