Our goal is to provide education to the medical community about what domestic violence is, what "symptoms" may look like and what services are available to help these victims. We seek to improve these services for victims of domestic violence and in doing so, to close the existing gaps in the delivery of medical care for them. For more information, contact chair, Jolene Culbertson.
