Quote – Date Night #1
“Violence kills so many Americans and sends so many
others into the healthcare system that we must
consider it a public health problem. Reducing the
incidence of violence is a major priority for our
nation……We must pay attention to the forces that fuel
violence so that we can keep it from happening, rather
than simply taking care of the consequences of violent
acts.”
