| Dr. Barbara Barlow is director of Surgery at Harlem Hospital Center and director of the Injury Free Coalition for Kids®, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Injury Free is a coalition of 40 Injury Prevention Programs in Pediatric Trauma Centers located in major cities in the United States. The program reduces injury through education, construction of safe play areas, and development and support of safe supervised activities with strong adult mentors. Major injury admissions of community children in Harlem have decreased by more than 60% since the program was initiated in 1988. Both the program and Dr. Barlow have received awards from the American Hospital Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the U.S. Department of Transportation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, the National Safety Council, the American Trauma Society, the National Association of Public Hospitals, Society of Public Health Educators of the American Public Health Association, Johnson and Johnson Foundation, Allstate Foundation, Hospital Association of New York, the American Association of Medical Colleges’ David E. Rogers Award, the Renaissance Woman Award from the Foundation for Women in Medicine, a Distinguished Career Award from the American Public Health Association, and the Sloan Public Service Award from the Fund for the City of New York. Dr. Barlow’s research has focused on traumatic injury to children and on injury prevention for the past 28 years. Dr. Barlow is currently a professor of Surgery at Harlem Hospital and a professor of Surgery in Epidemiology at the Mailman School.
