| Project Description: |
| Miami Children's Hospital is one of two state approved Pediatric Trauma Centers in Miami Dade County. Over 12,000 children were treated at Miami Children's Hospital last year for trauma related injuries. Maintaining a team of pediatric emergency medicine, surgical and sub-specialty physicians and staff to care for and manage these children requires an intense and ongoing investment in training and equipment. Since unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in children under the age of 14, the maintenance and further development of this service is critical to the well being of the children in the community. |
