New AHA Report Finds Workplace and Community Violence Costs Hospitals More than $18 Billion Annually
#HAVhope Friday: Day of Awareness
Join us June 6, 2025, for #HAVhope Friday
A national day of awareness to end violence
#HAVhope is a national day of awareness to highlight how America’s hospitals and health systems combat violence in their workplaces and communities. On June 6, the ninth annual Hospitals Against Violence #HAVhope Friday hospitals and health systems continue working toward partnerships, innovations and creative thinking to foster peace and make a safer environment for workers and patients.
We invite you to share using #HAVhope what your hospital or health system is doing in this effort. By operating as a united front, our hospitals can forge a path for all to have hope.
Ask Congress to Support the Save Healthcare Workers Act
This bipartisan bill would make it a federal crime to assault hospital workers, similar to current federal law protecting airline and airport workers.
