Gun violence has tragically become the leading cause of death amongst children in the United States. We explore this alarming reality with our esteemed guest, Dr. Chethan Sathya, Director of Northwell Health Center for Gun Violence Prevention. Together, we unravel the proactive steps the healthcare sector is taking to protect our most vulnerable, using tools such as judgement free screenings and surveys. Through learning how best to talk about a topic often deemed "taboo," healthcare workers are playing an active role in advocating for gun violence prevention and creating safer environments for patients.
