We understand that as a parent, you want to protect your child as much as possible. At CHOC, we are dedicated to injury prevention, because we believe injuries shouldn’t put childhood on pause. More children are affected by injuries than all other childhood illnesses and diseases combined.

By providing education, research and evidence-based programs in collaboration with the community, our injury prevention team strives to make Orange County the safest county in America, and keep childhood alive and well.
