"I'm a surgeon and I've been working with children for 30 years. I spent many years putting together the best trauma center for kids in the world, with the greatest capacity and the quickest response. But I realized that the medicine didn't matter—children were still dying. A lasting solution couldn't come from the hospital; it had to come from the community. We needed to change the paradigm from treatment to prevention. For instance, traffic-related fatalities are the number one cause of death in children, and most of those are easily preventable. That's why I started Safe Kids, and why Johnson & Johnson
became our founding sponsor."
