"Treating firearm-related injuries in the U.S. costs more than $1 billion annually, with public health programs like Medicaid picking up most of the tab, according to new GAO estimates https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/14/gun-violence-health-costs-499615"

"In healing communities & preventing more tragedies, hospitals can play a key role. Through the Chicago HEAL Initiative, we are expanding trauma recovery programs to support victims & prevent future violence."

"That's why I've introduced the bipartisan RISE from Trauma Act. Following the lead of Chicago HEAL hospitals, we can establish similar programs across the country to foster resilience & deliver healing services to build a brighter future for our communities."
