Trauma to Triumph Program

Santa Clara Valley Medical Center’s Trauma to Triumph Program works with the City of San Jose Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services to provide violence intervention services to patients who have received medical treatment for their injuries at the hospital.

To be eligible for the Trauma to Triumph Program, patients need to​ be 13 to 30 years of age and have sustained an injury from one or more of the following circumstances:

• Physical Assaults
• Gunshot Wounds
• Stab Wounds
• Assault with a Weapon

Even though being a resident of Santa Clara County is essential, the program has relationships with neighboring counties and referrals may be accepted.

Participation in the Trauma to Triumph Program is completely voluntary.
