Preventable injuries put a large burden on our families and communities. When public health informs policy, it gives us a tool to stop unintentional and violent injuries — from traffic, water, and/or firearms — before they happen.
The August session of Hot Topics in Practice will share lessons learned from Public Health — Seattle & King County about injury and violence prevention policy when it comes to traffic, water, and firearm safety.
Presenters:
Karyn Brownson, MSW
Community Safety Manager, Violence and Injury Prevention Unit
Public Health — Seattle & King County
Tony Gomez, BS, RS
Manager, Violence and Injury Prevention Unit
Public Health — Seattle & King County
