Trauma is the Leading Cause of Death for Americans Under 45

A fall, a crash, or an act of violence: trauma changes lives in an instant. For more than 55 years, the American Trauma Society (ATS) has been dedicated to strengthening trauma systems, advancing prevention efforts, and ensuring trained professionals are ready before injury occurs. And when it does, we’re there to make sure survivors and their families have the support, resources, and community they need to rebuild and recover.
