Unexpected traumatic events — and the hospitalization, treatment, and recovery that follow — can bring feelings of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty. Please know that you are not alone. The Trauma Center at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center offers a variety of resources and support to survivors of traumatic injuries, as well as their families.
To support you during this difficult time, we offer a free digital booklet for patients and their loved ones currently admitted with traumatic injuries. This resource provides helpful information about what to expect during hospitalization, the recovery process, and where to find additional support.
Dowload the booklet here.
The Trauma Survivors Network (TSN) is a community of patients and families who are looking to connect with one another and rebuild their lives after a serious injury. The American Trauma Society (ATS), the leading organization advocating for the injured and their families, in partnership with hospitals around the country, is committed to growing the TSN by providing the programs and resources patients and families tell us they need to manage their recovery and improve their lives. The underlying goal in all of these programs and resources is helping trauma patients and their families connect and rebuild their lives following a serious injury.
Some of the benefits of joining the TSN include:
• Connecting with others in similar situations and sharing your experiences
• Learning about injuries from trauma experts
• Discovering how to meet the challenges of everyday life after injury
• Giving hope and inspiration to others
