The Problem: Accidental childhood injury

Accidental injury is the number one cause of death among children ages 14 and under in the United States. Also, each year, 1 out of every 4 children needs medical attention for an accidental injury.

Safe Kids Douglas County is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide, a global network of organizations dedicated to preventing accidental injury. Our efforts are needed; as many as 90% of accidental injuries can be prevented.
