The New Normal?

Emergency department violence is on the rise. ACEP is taking action to protect members by working to pass the Save Healthcare Workers (SAVE) Act, a bill that would make willful assault of a health care worker a federal crime. The latest episode of ACEP’s Built on Results podcast features a conversation about violence in the ED with ACEP member Amanda Irish, MD, MPH, MS, DTMH.

Learn more about ACEP’s advocacy work in new episodes published every day through March 28, available everywhere you get your podcasts.
