This chapter discusses the impact of living near a level one trauma center on the likelihood of dying from gunshot wounds, highlighting a study that found a 35% higher chance of mortality if living more than five miles away. It also explores the racial disparity in access to trauma centers, with black majority areas disproportionately located far from these facilities due to financial challenges.
