What is philanthropy’s role in shaping the narrative around health and the environment? Who shapes how society understands health and harm?

Meeting the Moment to Prevent Violence: How Cross-Sector Collaborators Are Leading the Way

What happens when hospitals start treating violence as preventable? Across the country, health systems are pioneering models that connect clinical care to community violence intervention (CVI), and the early evidence is compelling.

This panel brings together three institutions at the forefront of this shift. Massachusetts General Hospital’s Gun Violence Prevention Center is training the next generation of clinicians to identify risk and navigate difficult conversations through case-based simulations. New research from Boston University offers findings from the first large-scale study of Boston Medical Center’s Violence Intervention Advocacy Program (VIAP), showing how in-depth interventions for young adult survivors of violence can reduce their risk of future involvement. And the Milken Institute’s survey findings discuss the funding landscape and strategies that sustain these approaches as federal support fluctuates.
