Community education and injury prevention
In addition to saving lives, HonorHealth’s Level 1 trauma centers fulfill their community health mission by monitoring trauma-related injuries and providing community education programs across the state.
Community education programs
Our highly trained trauma teams frequently visit schools, churches and community centers to present topics on fall prevention, stop the bleed education and safe driving.
Safe driver education
They provide education and classes for teens and older adults on road safety, including safe driving practices, motorcycle safety and teen alcohol awareness.
