Preventing Injury Consequences

Categories: Injury Response

Our goal at the Injury Center is to prevent injuries. Yet we know that despite all of our efforts, injuries will occur. So we believe it also is our professional responsibility to help ensure the best response when they do.

Are we prepared for a blast?

Categories: Injury Response

In an instant, an explosion or blast can wreak havoc; causing numerous injuries not commonly seen after natural disasters such as floods or hurricanes. And unfortunately, as many of us see daily through news reports, explosions are by far the most common cause of injuries associated with terrorism.
