Injury Prevention

The STRAC Regional Injury Prevention Committee convenes to foster an inclusive and collaborative atmosphere among diverse disciplines. Our primary goal is to create regional guidelines, streamline processes, and offer educational opportunities that promote effective injury prevention initiatives. By enhancing public and healthcare worker knowledge in the communities we serve, we aim to improve awareness and facilitate impactful programs, projects, and campaigns.
