Wisconsin Trauma Care System

Traumatic injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among people between the ages of 1-34 in Wisconsin and across the nation. Injury is the fourth leading cause of death overall and is recognized as a major public health problem in Wisconsin. 

Wisconsin has responded to this problem by developing and implementing a Statewide Trauma Care System designed to integrate all components of trauma care from injury detection/control to definitive care and rehabilitation.
