Health Care Coalition

History
The HealthCare Coalition (HCC) was formed as a subsidiary of OnTarget. Launched in 1997, ICHV developed the HCC to organize the healthcare Photo community so that they can educate the public about firearm violence as a public health crisis impacting everyone, particularly children. Emergency room physicians, nurses, trauma surgeons, rehabilitation specialists, emergency medical personnel, occupational therapists, hospital administrators, and almost anyone involved in healthcare is acutely aware of the destruction, cost, and horrors of gun violence.

Functions
The HCC focuses on every aspect of gun violence, including: homicides, suicides, unintentional shootings and injuries; the financial and human costs of gun violence; and the root causes of gun availability and use. Please contact the ICHV offices for membership materials.

"Today, we are taking a step in the right direction towards enduring gun violence. Keep making your voices heard, I know I will."

- Jim Brady
