IN 2008, THE TRAUMA SURVIVORS NETWORK (TSN) WAS DEVELOPED BY THE AMERICAN TRAUMA SOCIETY (ATS) TO HELP TRAUMA CENTERS PROVIDE THE SUPPORT AND SERVICES PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES NEED DURING THEIR RECOVERY FROM SERIOUS INJURY. THE PROGRAM WORKS TO:

*

BRING TOGETHER TRAUMA SURVIVORS AND FAMILIES TO CONNECT WITH ONE ANOTHER AND SHARE SUPPORT AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECOVERY PROCESS

*

ESTABLISH A NETWORK OF STATE-OF-THE-ART, HOSPITAL-BASED PEER SUPPORT PROGRAMS AND OTHER RESOURCES FOR TRAUMA SURVIVORS AND THEIR FAMILIES

*

TRAIN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TO DELIVER THE BEST CARE AND SUPPORT TO PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS

*

BUILD A COMMUNITY OF ADVOCATES DEDICATED TO IMPROVING PREVENTION EFFORTS, TRAUMA OUTCOMES, AND TRAUMA SYSTEM

RACE TO REBUILD IS A VIRTUAL RUN/WALK/CYCLE/ROLL OF THE DISTANCE OF YOUR CHOICE THAT ANYONE CAN JOIN IN SUPPORT OF TRAUMA SURVIVORS AND THE INCREDIBLE CHALLENGES THEY FACE EVERY DAY.

WITH A VIRTUAL RACE, YOU CAN COMPLETE YOUR WALK/RUN/CYCLE/ROLL EVENT ANYWHERE AND ANYTIME BETWEEN MAY 1 AND MAY 31. WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SHARE YOUR RESULTS WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY BY POSTING A PICTURE OF YOU AFTER YOU COMPLETE YOUR RACE. NO FORMAL TRACKING WILL TAKE PLACE WITH THIS EVENT. THE PROCEEDS FROM THE 2022, 2023 AND 2024 WENT TOWARDS THE LAUNCH OF OUR TSN GRANTS PROGRAM AND 45 TRAUMA CENTERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES WERE AWARDED $1,000 TOWARD A LOCAL PROGRAM INITIATIVE. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE THE GRANTS PROGRAM THIS YEAR AND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

THIS EVENT BENEFITS THE PROGRAMS AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE ATS AND TSN WHICH DEDICATES THEIR MISSION TO SAVE LIVES, IMPROVE CARE AND EMPOWER SURVIVORS. SIGN UP TODAY!
