As leader in women's services, Sisters Hospital established Western New York's first hospital-based program designed to work collaboratively with area agencies and organizations to respond to the alarming problem of the battering of women and children. Safe Passage has established training for medical professionals to help them in identifying and assisting victims of domestic violence. Through the training of staff recruitment of advocacy volunteers, Safe Passage has become a model program for other healthcare providers. The second part of the program is Safe Passage House, a two family transitional home owned by Sisters Hospital to house families affected by domestic violence. Call 862-1947 for more information.
