Dignity Health shares approach to trauma-informed care

While health care systems have focused their efforts on identifying and responding to victims of human trafficking, few hospitals have instituted models for long-term, integrated care of these same individuals to help them move from victimization to survivorship. The Medical Safe Haven clinic provides a coordinated model of care that provides victims and survivors full spectrum, trauma-informed primary medical care and mental health services. After providing more than 1,300 patient visits, the clinic has seen a marked reduction in patient re-traumatization. Presenters from the clinic, a part of Dignity Health Methodist Hospital of Sacramento (Calif.), will share their approach during a webinar on Sept. 26 from 2-3 p.m. ET. Participants are encouraged to register in advance.
