If a disease were killing our children at the rate unintentional injuries are, the public would be outraged and demand that this killer be stopped.

Our Mission

REDUCING ACCIDENTAL INJURY Accidental injury is the number one cause of death among children ages 14 and under in the United States. Also, each year one out of every four children needs medical attention for an accidental injury. Unfortunately, many of these injuries and deaths could have been prevented.
