American Hospital Association #HAVHope day combats violence against health care providers

The American Hospital Association has designated Friday, June 8, as #HAVHope Friday, a day of awareness about the impact of violence against people who work in health care.

The AHA suggests participating in two ways:

  • Share a photo on June 8 of yourself holding hands with others in your community or workplace committed to combating violence. This collection of photos will provide a visual to demonstrate that we stand together to combat violence. Download a sign here.
  • Use #HAVhope on social media to highlight your work or commitment to combat violence in your community or workplace.

 VUMC employees participating in this event can use tag @VanderbiltHealth on Instagram or @VUMCHealth on Twitter.
