Domestic violence is one of the most serious epidemics facing health care professionals today.
The good news is that medical professionals can make a significant difference in the lives of survivors of domestic violence. By restoring the physical identity of the victim, the emotional recovery can occur more naturally and quickly.

The City of San Francisco has established a comprehensive municipal response system which is supported by public and private partners to fight the problem. Programs were launched in New Orleans in April and in New York in July.
