Cover story The Voice of Lakewood.
Amid the high disproportionate rate of trauma injuries at Jersey Shore University Medical Center coming from Lakewood we can no longer stand idly by. As a matter of fact the trauma team estimate 43% of cases came from Lakewood last year alone. This fact did not go unnoticed and members of  Lakewood Bikur Cholim along with Dr. David Polonet and Hospital staff at JSUMC realized that something seriously must be done. Most of these injuries they say are preventable, Meaning the chiyuv is on us to prevent these things from happening.
