#Havhope Friday: A National Day of Awareness
Sponsored by the American Hospital Association
On June 9, #HAVhope Friday will focus national attention on ending all forms of violence with a digital media campaign – shared tweets, posted photos and other online efforts.
#HAVhope National Day of Awareness unites hospitals, health systems, nurses, doctors and other professionals from across the country, as well the local and national organizations they work with, to combat violence through the use of digital media. Violence is one of the nation’s major public health and safety issues, both in our communities and workplaces.
