Trauma Prevention Program

Mercy San Juan Medical Center’s Trauma Prevention and Outreach program provides community education and outreach efforts to decrease preventable death and injuries.

Senior Fall Prevention

More than 40% of trauma patients seen at Mercy San Juan Medical Center arrived due to a fall. Trauma Prevention and Outreach staff work to reduce these costly injuries. We are proud to join other regional trauma centers in supporting StopFalls Sacramento, a coalition of agencies and individuals dedicated to reducing fall risk and injury among older adults.

Safe Kids Greater Sacramento

The Safe Kids Greater Sacramento coalition seeks to prevent death and unintentional injury to children ages 18 and under through community collaboration and education.

Safe Kids Greater Sacramento, proudly led by Mercy San Juan Medical Center and supported by Safe Kids Worldwide, is one of more than 400 grassroots coalitions that aims to educate and protect families. Areas of focus include vehicle safety, water safety, bike and pedestrian safety, drowning prevention, poisoning prevention and fire safety.

Teen Driving Safety

Mercy San Juan participates in the "Every 15 Minutes" program, a realistic reenactment of a car collision involving a drunk driver. The program, which has touched the lives of thousands of high school students in the Sacramento area, shows teens the effect drunk driving has on others.

Car Seat Safety Checks

Is your child's car seat installed correctly? Having your child in a properly installed car seat reduces his/her risk of death or serious injury by as much as 71 percent.

We offer low-cost car seat checks for low-income families with proof of assistance. The program includes virtual care seat education and in-persin appointments to teach you how to install your seat correctly. Services are offered in English, Spanish and Hmong.

To make an appointment, or for questions, please call our Car Seat Hotline at (916) 864-5779.

Stop the Bleed

Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign intended to encourage people to become trained in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives.

Mercy San Juan Medical Center offers free two-hour classes open to the community to learn how to apply dressings, tourniquets and hemostatic agents to stop bleeding.

All classes are held in Lukens Auditorium at Mercy San Juan Medical Center, 6555 Coyle Ave Suite 150, Carmichael 95608. To register, please call (916) 864-5681.
