Every two minutes, a preventable injury-related death occurs in the U.S.—a rate 95% higher than 30 years ago. On Nov. 18, Lakeview Hospital joined hospitals nationwide in recognizing National Injury Prevention Day, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness about injury prevention and promoting safety in our communities.
Lakeview Hospital offered key advice for preventing injuries inside and outside the home:
· -Install or check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
· -Secure heavy furniture and TVs to walls
