Baltimore: Saving Lives Through Hospital-Based Care

In this special 4 part series, we’ll be highlighting The
Coalition to Advance Public Safety (CAPS), a coalition of
organizations working to intercept and prevent violence in
communities across the U.S. The coalition’s work builds on years
of knowledge of public health, gun violence prevention and the
particular needs of different locales, as well as the lived
experience of community members on the ground. With these tools,
CAPS creates and maintains community violence intervention (CVI)
ecosystems around the country. In our first episode, Travon Free
sits down with Joe Kim from CAPS’ Health Alliance for Violence
Intervention and Freedom Jones from LifeBridge. They chat about
what it means to implement a health-centered approach to
combating violence in Baltimore and what lessons can be applied
to other cities in the U.S.


 


Thank you to the Coalition to Advance Public Safety, and in
particular Health Alliance for Violence Intervention and
LifeBridge for making today’s conversation possible. To learn

coalition, visit https://www.capsinitiative.org.
