We invite you to join us on Tuesday, October 6 at 8:00am ET for our October Integrative Medicine Grand Rounds, featuring Chana A. Sacks, MD, MPH, who will delve into interventions to prevent firearm-related injuries. This event is open to all and free to attend.
LECTURE
Tens of thousands of people die each year from firearm-related injuries in the U.S.; twice that number suffer non-fatal injuries, and the effects of this violence ripple through families and communities. We will explore strategies to break cycles of violence, support families and communities affected by firearm-related injuries, and discuss specific actions clinicians can take to address this complex clinical and public health problem.

Sacks, MD, MPH is a general internist in the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, and the Co-Director of the MGH Gun Violence Prevention Center.
