Healing & Recovery
“Live On” is the third part of our slogan, standing for tertiary prevention, which is the prevention or reduction of long-term impacts from an injury event. Many factors affect how well an individual or community will heal from injury and we research and implement solutions for promoting recovery to the fullest.
