STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. After a recent uptick in crime in New York City, Northwell Health held a virtual forum to address gun violence.
Forum participants discussed various ways community organizations, the government, hospitals, individuals, and even billion-dollar companies can combat gun violence.
Hospital leaders from around the country discussed the ways healthcare organizations can create partnerships with young people and have an influence on their community.
“I would like to see gun violence discussed as a public health issue,” said Northwell Health President and CEO Michael Dowling. “Healthcare organizations should be working with schools and police departments on these issues. We come from different perspectives and different priorities, but it should be a priority for everyone to save lives.”
