SUV is NYC Health + Hospitals /Jacobi’s violence prevention initiative. This innovative program is based
on the premise that violence is a public health issue that can be treated like any other disease. The
way in which violence spreads and is transmitted from person to person resembles a contagious
disease. SUV has the advantage of being the first hospital-based model of the Cure Violence Program. The hospital’s
designated team is able to respond and provide specialized care to patients who have been shot, stabbed, or assaulted.
Ongoing follow-up provides medical and social services and identifies productive alternatives to high-risk behavior and
violence. Patients who are high-risk and eligible for the community-based services are connected with outreach workers
who provide intensive, long-term follow-up in the community to prevent future incidents of violence.
