(June 6, 2025) – #HAVHope Friday is a national day of awareness to highlight how America's hospitals and health systems combat violence in their workplaces and communities. June 6 marks the ninth annual Hospitals Against Violence #HAVhope Friday to highlight how hospitals and health systems continue working toward partnerships, innovations and creative thinking to build a safe workplace and community.
We invite you to use #HAVhope to share what policies, procedures or practices your organization employs in this effort. By operating as a united front and sharing these best practices, our hospitals and health systems can forge a path for all to have hope.
You can find the social media graphics and texts in the Kansas Hospital Association Box folder. To learn more about the effect of violence on the health care industry, download the Burden of Violence to U.S. Hospitals report.
