The mission of The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation is to catalyze trauma innovation for injured civilians and military heroes, through multidisciplinary investigative collaborations across the continuum of trauma care, from prevention to treatment and recovery.
The Stepping Strong Innovator Awards program inspires multi-institutional faculty to pursue groundbreaking innovation with a goal of transforming outcomes for civilians and military heroes worldwide.
The Stepping Strong Injury Prevention and Intervention program aims to reduce the number and severity of traumatic injuries resulting from elderly falls, gun violence, distracted driving, and substance use.
The Stepping Strong Plastic Surgery Trauma Fellowship is a unique program designed to train the next generation of medical leaders in advanced and innovative techniques for treating acute and complex injury.
True to the Boston Strong spirit of kindness and collaboration, the members of the Stepping Strong community are inspired to come together to help those with traumatic injuries step strong again.
As part of our ongoing trainings for hospitality groups across the @cityofboston, supported by @thequinhouseboston Impact Fund, the Stepping Strong Center taught staff from @beehiveboston and @cosmicaboston how to save lives using Stop the Bleed and Naloxone administration techniques.
Hospitality venues are common ground where many people interact and emergencies can arise. Equipping hospitality staff with lifesaving techniques improves the experience and safety of patrons and the venues they enjoy.
Thank you for hosting us @beehiveboston and for learning how to control traumatic bleeding and administer naloxone in the event of an emergency.

June is Men’s Health Month
This year, the Office of @minorityhealth is focusing on improving health outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) men and understanding how their unique environments, cultures, histories, and circumstances impact their overall health.
Accounting for differences in age and population size, the incidence of death from traumatic injury is 40% higher for AI/AN men, compared to White men. @cdcgov
