Experts at @Everytown & @TheHAVI have released a new costing tool to facilitate the implementation of hospital-based violence intervention programs, proven to reduce gun violence & associated care costs. Learn how to bring these life-saving programs to your hospitals below⬇️
The choice is clear: we can continue to pay for countless lives taken or altered forever by gun violence, or we can fund efforts like HVIPs, which provide survivors with the support they need to avoid reinjury. It’s a win-win. Learn more: #HVIPs everytownresearch.org/report/hospita…
A strong predictor of future violent injury is having been hospitalized for a past one. Studies show HVIP participants’ reinjury rates were at least half those of hospitalized survivors who didn’t participate. These programs can save hospitals and taxpayers significant amounts.
HVIPs reduce repeat hospitalizations of gunshot victims, decreasing both the human and financial toll of this violence. HVIPs meet gunshot survivors at their bedside and support them with non-medical needs that help with recovery and prevent reinjury and retaliation. #HVIPs

Thank you @RISEhlth for having me lead a critical conversation on the intersection of social determinants of health and gun violence w/ @christagreenmph, Program Director of the Turning the Tide Violence Intervention Program, a HVIP at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Our Office of Gun Violence Prevention is committed to working with local partners toward community-driven solutions to eliminate gun violence and protect survivors. Gun violence is an epidemic that pervades our society. We won’t stop fighting until all our communities are free.
