After a hiatus, Cooper University Health Care is excited to announce the return of the Schwartz Center Rounds, a program that offers health care workers a regularly scheduled time during their fast-paced work lives to openly and honestly discuss the social and emotional issues they face in caring for patients and families.
Across the country, people from all walks of life have been affected by gun violence, which has lasting emotional, physical, legal, and financial impacts on survivors, families, and communities, as well as on first responders and the medical community. Gun violence can take many forms, including gun suicides and suicide attempts, gun homicides and assaults, domestic violence involving a gun, mass shootings, shootings by police, and unintentional shootings, among others.
Please join us for our next Schwartz Center Rounds on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, from noon to 1 p.m., as we examine the impact of gun violence on health care professionals today. You can attend in person or via Webex. No registration is required.
