The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the Community-Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CFDA 16.045) to Endeavor Health Clinical Operations, a non-profit healthcare provider doing business as Evanston Hospital. The grant will fund the development and implementation of a hospital-based community violence intervention program, "Endeavor to Heal," across three of Endeavor Health's hospitals in the Chicago and North Suburban area. The program aims to decrease instances of violent injury and contribute to an overall reduction in violent crime through a systematic approach that incorporates collaborative partnerships, community engagement, and evidence-based violence prevention and intervention methods. Key strategies include rapid response and crisis intervention, intensive case management, mental health services, hospital-community collaboration, and workforce development, targeting high-risk individuals who have experienced violent injury or have a history of violent victimization. The 3-year project period runs from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2027.
