AIM is one of dozens of hospital-linked violence intervention programs around the country.

The programs aim to uncover the social and economic factors that contributed to someone ending up in the ER with a bullet wound.

President Donald Trump ’s executive orders have created uncertainty around the programs’ long-term federal funding.

REACH provides wound-care kits; physical therapy; and behavioral, mental and occupational health care.

It’s part of a growing movement of community-based clinics focused on violent injuries.

The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention counted 74 hospital-linked violence intervention programs among its membership.
