The American Trauma Society was founded in 1968 with the goal of increasing awareness, funding, prevention, and care of traumatic injuries. They believe that the survival of trauma patients is directly related to the level of care available, thus they advocate for proper training at every stage of a trauma system.

The American Trauma Society supports national and state legislation that creates and trains trauma systems, and works with members at all levels of government to accomplish this goal.

St. John Bosco (1815-1888), or “Don Bosco,” was a Roman Catholic priest who founded the Salesian order. His work focused on helping impoverished young men and boys who moved to his town of Turin, Italy in search of employment. Working in the context of the Industrial Revolution, Don Bosco provided housing and education for these young men in an environment that only valued their cheap labor. Across the United States, there are dozens of schools named for John Bosco because of the saint’s interest in education. This button was likely created to promote one of these schools.

The Borough of Beaver Pennsylvania is located in Beaver County about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh and sits at the confluence of the Ohio River and the Beaver River. Officially formalized in 1802, the area was in use long before that by indigenous people including the Shawnee and later the Delaware. Beaver is also the home of Fort McIntosh, the Continental Army’s first fort built north of the Ohio River. Fort McIntosh played a crucial role in America’s fight for independence, serving as the Continental Army’s western headquarters.
