A 360º Approach to Firearm Injury Prevention

As the trauma center that treats the most gun victims of any hospital in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Temple University Hospital finds itself on the front lines of a public health crisis that has wounded more than 25,000 Philadelphians during the past 17 years. As such, TUH has created a series of innovative outreach efforts — from violence prevention programs to first aid training to gun safety education — that aim to reduce the number of Philadelphians who suffer firearm injury. Together, these initiatives make up the Temple Safety Net.
