At the UAB ICRC, our work is also our mission. We seek to help the nation achieve a significant reduction in the rate of injuries and the resulting deaths and disabilities, especially in the southeastern United States.

Through our work, we hope to reduce the immeasurable human suffering as well as the staggering medical and societal costs resulting from injury.
