We, in the Pediatric Trauma Society are deeply saddened by the act of violence at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon. As a society of pediatric health care experts, we will continue to focus our efforts not only on clinical trauma care, but on advocating for children and families against threats to their safety.
We are grateful for trauma centers like St. Charles Bend Hospital that stand, always ready, to care for the injured.
