About Us

Each year more than 3,500 Virginians die as a result of injury and more than 40,000 are hospitalized at a cost in excess of $500 million. Transportation injuries, poisonings, falls, fires and burns, drowning, firearm injuries, self inflicted injuries and assault are largely responsible for this toll. Many of these injuries are preventable. Our vision is for Virginia to be a place where people live, learn and play safely. Parents, educators, health providers, & others can actively participate in raising awareness and enhancing skills to prevent injury & violence in their communities. Our strategies for prevention include research & assessment, policy development, training and community education, promotion and dissemination of safety devices, public information and funding of local projects.
