MAY 19, 2027!
National Trauma Survivors Day is a time to come together and recognize the millions of people whose lives have been changed by traumatic injury. On May 19 and throughout the month of May, trauma survivors, families, caregivers, healthcare professionals, first responders, and communities around the world will celebrate trauma survivors and all who care for them, honor those we have lost, and raise awareness in our communities around injury recovery.
