An Epidemic of Community Violence
Dr. Shah meets with one of Project HEAL’s Case Supervisors, Randy Scales.
Newswise Project HEAL (“Help, Empower, and Lead”), a hospital-based violence intervention program working in coordination with the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center, opened its doors this month with the mission to address community, domestic, and gang-related violence in Monmouth County.
“Creating a very specific type of care for those affected by violence – from the moment they enter our emergency department to long after the point of discharge – is critical,” says Aakash Shah, M.D., medical director for Project HEAL. “It is needed now more than ever, and I applaud Governor Phil Murphy, Attorney General Gurbir Singh Grewal, and the leadership of Jersey Shore University Medical Center for helping us with this program.”
