Gun safety saves lives. Secure your firearms.
At OhioHealth, protecting the health and safety of our community is part of our mission. That’s why we are proud to partner with Agree to Agree, an Ad Council initiative focused on encouraging open conversations around important issues like gun safety.
Our partnership with Agree to Agree supports conversations that lead to action and safer homes for everyone. Agree to Agree has powerful tools and resources that can be used by anyone, whether you own a firearm or not. Preventing tragedies starts with discussing gun safety.
Stay Safe. Stay out of the ER
OhioHealth is all too familiar with the devastation of firearm injuries. Learn more about the impact and what you can do to help from a trauma surgeon at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center.
