What To Tell A Survivor Of Violent Trauma Pt 2
Since 2018, Doctors of the World USA has worked in the field of gun violence prevention in partnership with the NYC Health + Hospitals Jacobi Medical Center’s Stand Up to Violence Program (SUV).
The SUV Program is a hospital-based violence prevention initiative located in the Bronx, NY. The initiative works to improve outcomes in patients admitted for violent trauma and to prevent community violence through an intervention that employs community outreach workers both within the hospital setting, as well as out in the community to prevent future violence.
