Investing in health care to prevent harm from firearm injuries and deaths
Kaiser Permanente established the center in 2022 to scale its longstanding commitment to help communities prevent, treat, and heal from firearm-related injuries or death. The center’s focus on violence prevention is rooted in health care, care delivery, and clinical interventions.
The center is coordinated in collaboration with the Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI).
Research to support more effective health interventions
The center funds research to test and expand health interventions that treat and prevent firearm injuries and deaths. This approach uses the same rigor and expertise that has helped treat and prevent other leading health concerns and causes of death, such as strokes, cancer, and heart disease.
Funding opportunities enable grantees to learn:
How health systems can better address firearm injury and death, especially in communities that are most impacted.
What the most effective clinical interventions are to prevent, treat, and heal trauma caused by firearm injuries and death.
How effective clinical interventions can be implemented and scaled for firearm injury prevention in various health care settings.
How health care can better identify and educate individuals who are at high risk of firearm injury or death.
