As the busiest Level 1 Trauma Center in New York City, Jamaica Hospital understands the responsibility of not only treating trauma but also educating the community on ways to avoid it.

The hospital participates in many programs, including Fall Prevention, Safe Streets, and Stop the Bleed, to educate and prevent injuries and trauma. We also attend many community events where our trauma educators provide important tips to help our community stay safe.

We also created the Violence Elimination and Trauma Outreach (or VETO) program to address the important issue of gun violence.
