SAFE Guilford was founded in 2001 by Moses Cone Health System, The Guilford County Department of Public Health and Guilford Health Partnership (now Guilford County Healthy Carolinians). The program is based in the Trauma Department at Moses Cone Hospital, but requires the work of many coalition members and volunteers to achieve its goals. SAFE Guilford is the lead organization of Safe Kids Guilford County and coordinates the Guilford County Falls Prevention Coalition in conjunction with the Piedmont Triad Area Agency on Aging.
