TRAUMALINK HAS DEVELOPED A SCALABLE AND SUSTAINABLE MODEL TO SAVE LIVES AFTER TRAUMATIC INJURIES. SO FAR WE HAVE:
545 Volunteers
Responded to over 1300 incidents
Expanded operations to 135 km with a 24/7 call center

WHAT WE DO
Injured patients are much more likely to survive if they receive treatment quickly. Fortunately, within the first hour after injury, simple medical treatments can be highly effective at preventing paralysis and death. This critical window is known as the “Golden Hour” and is the period of time during which TraumaLink First Responders work. LEARN MORE
Recent News
TraumaLink volunteers are still providing their life-saving services on the highways
These challenging times remind us how much we need each other and we want to assure you, and the communities we serve, that TraumaLink will survive this crisis. Our dedicated and courageous volunteers are still providing their life-saving services on the highways. These first responders have taken the initiative to provide their own masks and we are continuing to provide them with gloves and hand sanitizer.
We are monitoring the situation closely to make sure that our First Responders and Field Coordinators can safely continue treating patients. We are monitoring them for concerning symptoms and have a detailed protocol in place to keep them out of service if these do develop. We will not fully close down TraumaLink’s operations unless it is a temporary measure to protect our volunteers and staff. The senior leadership team is finding the best ways to face this crisis and we have created a list of items we can work on over these next few months that will let us continue to move TraumaLink forward while we have put a hold on our expansion activities. When the crisis has passed, we will be in a better position to resume our normal operations and continue expanding the service.
The staff has done an exceptional job adjusting to the new realities of working during this pandemic. We feel very proud and grateful to know that we have such an excellent team to get us through these difficult times.
We thank all of you for your support and ask that you please stay safe!
