Trauma Ambassador Program
Trauma related support in the form of educational programs, QI program assistance, and transfer packets are taken to local emergency providers. A designated ambassador is assigned to area hospitals and the opportunity to shadow a Trauma Nurse is available. The JPS Trauma Resource Hotline for acute ER to ER trauma transfers, 817-923-3875 or 100-575-0639, expedites the transfer process, benefiting both the patient and referring facility.
Community Outreach Programs

Just Party Safe Project - Trauma and emergency nurses educate and encourage prom participants to have a safe prom night by choosing not to drink and drive. The education is done through pamphlets, videos, and a mock trauma room at a local High School. The past two years have also showcased a donated vehicle wrecked in an alcohol related accident. This event reaches more than 500 students.
Just Play Safe Project - This project reaches out to children 2 to 12 year of age and their parents on Halloween night. Project volunteers spend the evening at a local community center playing injury prevention games for bicycle helmets and other prizes. The event hosts more than 2,000 adults and children.
Injury Prevention - Trauma Services provides injury prevention education at community health fairs and schools through displays, games and brochures.
