SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST INTERN

The Georgia Trauma Foundation is a statewide 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has a developed mission to collaborate with health care professionals and other key partners to improve the delivery of trauma care services throughout the state of Georgia. In a world being reshaped by constantly changing external conditions, including a global pandemic, a lot of things have slowed but trauma is not among them. Traumatic injury remains the leading cause of death and hospitalization in the United States for people under the age of 45. As the need for trauma care continues, there is a growing call for a Foundation model focused on excellence in trauma care, injury prevention, education, research and advocacy. Our leadership in this space is strengthened by collaborative efforts throughout the state to implement solutions that will produce a more advanced trauma care system from which all Georgians benefit.
