Who We Are?
The Partnership for a Safer Maryland (PSM) was established in 2005.
The focus of PSM is to provide information on the effectiveness of existing state policies related to injury prevention and control, and review surveillance data to help identify and prioritize injury problems within the state.
PSM is also tasked with developing a state injury prevention plan.
