Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH)

Boston Children’s Hospital (BCH) is dedicated to improving and advancing the health and well-being of children around the world through its lifechanging work in clinical care, biomedical research, medical education and community engagement. BCH’s Injury Prevention Program, part of their Trauma Center, is dedicated to dramatically decreasing the number of preventable injuries through research and public education. Fundación MAPFRE partnered with BCH’s Injury Prevention Program to build the “Safe Play Starts Here” program with a goal of educating the community to take measures to prevent injuries, especially injuries sustained by children, in their homes. Health educators travel in the Injury Prevention van, holding workshops throughout Massachusetts and educating communities on how to avoid unintentional injuries. Thanks to Fundación MAPFRE support, the BCH Injury Prevention team has expanded its community education across the state.
