Trauma Newsletter November 2026

Pdf Summary

The November 2026 Trauma Newsletter highlights National Injury Prevention Day (NIPD), observed annually on November 18. Established in 2020 by Estell Lenita Johnson, NIPD brings organizations and communities together to prevent injuries and violence affecting both children and adults.

Its goals include raising awareness of injury risks, promoting evidence-based prevention, encouraging collaboration, empowering communities to create safer environments, and advocating for supportive policies. Ways to participate include lighting buildings or landmarks green, hosting safety events, sharing prevention tips with <strong>#BeInjuryFree</strong>, partnering with local organizations, and educating others.

The newsletter also invites staff to the 2026 SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital Trauma Symposium on November 12. Chief Community Health Officer Dr. Alexander Garza will present on trauma from a public health perspective.

The accompanying quiz reinforces that NIPD addresses injury prevention broadly, green lighting is one participation option, and the observance takes place each year on November 18.
