Welcome to the Rainbow Injury Prevention Center

Unintentional injuries are the leading cause of death for Americans ages 1 to 35, and among the leading causes of injury or death nationally among all age groups.

University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital has strengthened its commitment to injury prevention across Northeast Ohio by forming the Rainbow Injury Prevention Center. The Center, created in response to many requests for materials and technical assistance from private and public sectors, is designed to share creative ideas, resources and information with all members of the Greater Cleveland community. The Center's resources include a lending library of health and safety information and access to specialists in a wide variety of injury prevention areas.

Safe Kids Greater Cleveland
Advocacy Action Opportunity Update

Legislators want to do the right thing, but they also want to please voters. Letting them know the public supports efforts to protect children can be a powerful incentive to vote in favor of these issues. There are currently two pending bills in the Ohio House and one in the Senate that address child safety issues. We encourage all members of Safe Kids Greater Cleveland to learn more about these bills and work with our legislators to advance the health and safety of children and families. Learn more about H.B. 387, H.B. 320, and S.B. 27 and what you can do help.
