In this impactful highlight from the 2024 Western Pediatric Trauma Conference, Dr. Meera Kotagal explores the critical role of equity in pediatric trauma care. She emphasizes that improving outcomes for injured children begins with recognizing and addressing the social determinants of health. Key Highlights: Action-Oriented Screening: It's not enough to screen for social risk factors—screenings must be paired with real interventions that meet families where they are. Becoming a Sanctuary: Healthcare providers are encouraged to create environments of safety and trust by being advocates—not just clinicians. Mission-Centered Advocacy: Dr. Kotagal urges trauma professionals to frame complex issues around a shared mission: improving child health, not just healthcare. Community Engagement: Understanding patient needs means looking beyond hospital walls and listening directly to the communities served. Small Steps, Big Impact: Dr. Kotagal encourages all providers to make immediate, personal changes in their practice and identify small but meaningful ways to close equity gaps. This session is a powerful reminder that equity in trauma care requires both systemic advocacy and individual accountability.
