Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Seattle

Broken bones, scrapes, burns and the bruises of childhood may be dismissed as kids being kids, but the doctors and nurses who treat unintentional injuries have come to a different conclusion. When children live in a safe environment, are given alternatives to gang violence, follow street safety when walking, and wear helmets when biking, they have many fewer injuries and fewer visits to the hospital emergency department.

The Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Seattle is a hospital-community partnership focused on reducing childhood injury in neighborhoods throughout the city. Based at the HIPRC, the Coalition is a partnership between Harborview Medical Center, Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, Public Health-Seattle & King County, and the community.
