3. WHAT IS PTP?
Accidental injury is the leading cause of death (40%) among children under the age of 15
As much as 90% of these injuries can be easily prevented
Common reasons for severe injuries include biking accidents, faulty car booster seats, domestic dangers, playground injuries, and drowning accidents
These accidents result from a lack of proper equipment; devices designed for children do not necessarily work for children
Lack of education about child safety in both the affected children and adult professionals make the treatment more difficult 3 3 3 3 3 3 3

4. Children's Hospital and Health Center San Diego
Recognizing the need to decrease the chances of accidental deaths among children, the Kiwanis Cali-Nev-Ha Foundation created the PTP Program in 1994
PTP pairs up with hospitals around our district to facilitate relations between the Kiwanis Family and the medical field
