Since our inception in 1992 we have served to:

• act as a clearinghouse on local childhood injury programs and materials;
• combine community efforts so as to not duplicate services;
• act as a referral system for local agencies;
• apply comprehensive community-based strategies to increase car seat and bike helmet usage, and increase the number of households that have working smoke alarms.
