Injury Prevention Center
The goal of the Injury Prevention Center is to reduce injuries in Rhode Island through community outreach, research and education.
Each year Rhode Island experiences:
- Hundreds of injury-related deaths
- Thousands of injury-related hospitalizations
- Countless injuries leading to disability
Many of these injuries can be avoided by studying and developing programs aimed at preventing injuries from occurring. For this reason, emergency department physicians at Rhode Island Hospital created the Injury Prevention Center in 1998. The Center conducts research; develops and implements community-based programs; and educates professionals, policy makers and the public about the importance of injury prevention
