The Injury Prevention Center (IPC) was founded in 1998 by a group of emergency medicine physicians who realized that many of the injuries they treated were preventable. The IPC is based in the department of emergency medicine at Rhode Island, Hasbro Children's, and The Miriam Hospitals in Providence, RI. In its mission to reduce injuries in Rhode Island, the IPC is driven by a three-pronged approach known as CORE: Community Outreach, Research, and Education.
