Narrative:

Descent began from FL410 to 10000 ft and the ride was smooth with no reported turbulence from other aircraft or ATC. WX conditions were good, just a few scattered clouds and no thunderstorm activity anywhere along the route. Passenger seatbelt sign had been turned on after beginning descent from FL410. I had notified the flight attendants to secure the cabin for arrival by the normal 1 ring of the flight attendant call. I departed 10000 ft and passing 9500 ft encountered moderate turbulence that ended at 9300 ft. I reported the turbulence to slc approach control. We then received a call from the #2 flight attendant informing us that she had head, neck, and knee injuries and that she would need paramedics and would not be able to continue. All 3 flight attendants had been standing in the aft galley when we encountered the turbulence, but only the #2 flight attendant received any injuries. Paramedics met us upon arrival at the gate, treated the #2 flight attendant in the aft galley and then took her to the hospital for further treatment. I notified dispatch and the chief pilot. Supplemental information from acn 629165: during taxi in, we were told that she was bleeding from the knee and head, and the rest of the flight attendants and passenger were okay. We passed the information to operations. At arrival at the gate, the passenger remained sitting and the paramedics went to the back to attend to the flight attendant. After passenger deplaning, the paramedics removed her on the aisle chair. We were later told that she was taken to the hospital and would then go to the crew hotel.
