Healthy living

Our passionate team of healthcare professionals collaborate to offer the digital information you need to make healthy choices throughout your life.

We can treat chronic hip and knee pain that inhibits your daily life. To determine your orthopedic care options, you can take our hip health assessment or knee health assessment.

The majority of injuries in adults and children are unintentional and preventable. By taking simple precautions, you can help prevent an injury or death from happening to you or someone else.

Through our Level I Trauma Center, we partner with many community agencies, including Riverside Police Department, Riverside County Sheriff Department, Riverside Emergency Services, Public Health and Safe Kids, to provide education to the community through various prevention programs.

Presentations and classes are provided free of charge. We offer:

• Car seat education
• Concussions and helmet use
• Senior fall prevention
• Stop the bleed
• Water safety and drowning prevention

Learn more about our injury prevention programs or book a class by emailing Wendy McEuen.

Fall prevention education

Each year, more than 2.8 million adults over 65 years old in the United States are treated in the emergency department for injuries resulting from a fall. That’s more than 1 out of 4 older adults. Designed with seniors in mind, our program provides fall risk assessments and lifestyle modifications to help prevent falls.

Stop the bleed

Stop the Bleed is a national awareness campaign and call–to–action and is intended to cultivate grassroots efforts that encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before professional help arrives. Our Injury Prevention team is committed to providing Stop the Bleed training to the community. Working with 100+ community partners, including local law enforcement, schools, and civic organization, RCH has trained over 12,000 people on life saving techniques. 

Trauma survivors network (TSN)

TSN is a community of survivors looking to connect and rebuild their lives after a serious injury. The program aims to ensure a stable recovery for trauma survivors and to connect those who share similar stories.

Resources offered through the TSN include other survivor stories, online self-management recovery classes, peer support and discussion topics, including traumatic injuries, pain management and rehabilitation.

Our Level I Trauma Center is a member of the American Trauma Society’s TSN. You can access an extensive list of local and national resources, and register for local TSN benefits and future survivor activities online.

Post–traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

PTSD is a mental health condition that is triggered by either experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. If you have disturbing thoughts and feelings about a traumatic event for more than a month or you are having trouble getting your life back under control, talk to your doctor or one of our mental health professionals. Getting treatment as soon as possible can help prevent PTSD symptoms from getting worse.
