Pediatric Trauma Program

Presented by: Kaetyng Chen Lieutenant Governor D44S

SOME FACTS..

Unintentional Injury is the #1 killer for children 14 and under in the U.S.
Unintentional injury kills more children every year than any other cause (disease, homicide, and suicide) Common reasons: Biking accidents, faulty car booster seats, playground injuries, and drowning accidents.

Treatment is more difficult when professionals do not have proper education about child safety.

90% of these unintentional injuries can be prevented! Injuries are not inevitable.

What do our funds actually go towards?

Funding to train Pediatric doctors

Purchase much-needed pediatric medical equipment

Emma Jennings
Had we not been at Renown, Emma and I might not have made it. The surgeon said that if we had been 60 minutes later, I would have bled out and both Emma and I would have died. I credit Renown and their amazing staff, with saving our lives. -Sara Jennings, Emmas mother

Alexis Hoekstra
Doctors at LLUCH discovered Alexis had a lifethreatening allergy to iodine, which almost cost Alexis her life. Alexis was also diagnosed with a rare allergy to the proteins found in milk.
