The Injury Free Coalition for Kids works to protect children and their families from preventable injuries through evidence-based research and proven intervention models. Through our partner sites at trauma centers, we work in communities nationwide, addressing local needs identified through regional data analysis. By bridging scientific knowledge with community-specific programming, we create safer environments where children and families can thrive and develop free from preventable harm.
Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death in children less than 18 years of age in Monroe County. As a result, Monroe County has made reducing unintentional childhood injuries a health priority. The Injury Free Coalition for Kids of Rochester (IFCKR) is an injury prevention program whose goal is to address this health priority in our community. Centered at the University of Rochester Medical Center, IFCKR’s strength is working with community groups, governmental agencies and others to identify community concerns, develop plans to address those concerns, and implement prevention activities. By relying on the strengths of our coalition members, IFCKR is able to address community needs for injury prevention programs.
