Intermountain Medical Center and Zero Fatalities Team Up To Reduce Number of Utah Roadway Deaths This Summer

To kick off National Trauma Month in May, the Intermountain Medical Center Level I Trauma Program is teaming up with Zero Fatalities to help reduce the number of deaths and injuries on Utah’s roadways this spring and summer. Motor vehicle accidents account for over 20 percent of all trauma patients treated at Intermountain Medical Center. 

On Thursday, April 30, trauma doctors, nurses, and employees will provide a unique perspective on roadway injuries and fatalities, as well as recommendations to keep Utah motorists safe. 

“No matter how talented the physician, there are some injuries that cannot be fixed,” said Mark Stevens, MD, medical director of the Intermountain Medical Center Trauma program. “Help us save lives by always buckling up and keeping focused on the road.”
