Injury Prevention

Injury Prevention

The goal of the injury prevention program is to reduce the frequency, severity, and impact of preventable injuries across the life span.  We work to reduce the incidence and severity of injuries and injury-related hospitalizations, disabilities, and death.

The Health Unit implements a number of initiatives to reduce these numbers, including programs & prevention education through home visits, community presentations, awareness campaigns, and through collaboration with key community partners.

Key topic areas;

 

DO YOU HAVE UNUSED/EXPIRED MEDICATIONS? OR USED SHARPS?

NOT SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THEM?

You can now return these medications and sharps to a pharmacy in your community. Click the applicable link below to find a location near you.

When you drop off your medications and sharps, you'll not only ensure they're disposed of properly – you'll also keep them out of the wrong hands, preventing abuse or accidental ingestion or injuries – and protecting our environment in the process.
