The AAMC led a coalition of 33 health care, medical, and public health organizations in a letter urging policymakers to fund hospital-based violence intervention programs and other community violence interventions as part of a strategy to help curb the nation’s gun violence epidemic. In the letter to congressional appropriators, the organizations outline the value of multidisciplinary programs which help break the cycle of violence by connecting patients at risk of experiencing or perpetrating violent injury with key hospital, community-based, and case management services to prevent repeat injury and retaliatory violence.
