In 2020, the Healthcare Subcommittee focused on sharing information and resources amongst the members, discussed how to continue outreach efforts to local nursing and medical programs, and used the model curriculum created in 2019 to train healthcare professionals throughout Chicago. During subcommittee meetings, time was spent reviewing and discussing the latest research pertaining to human trafficking identification and care for trafficked patients in the healthcare setting.
Recognizing the increase in potential contact with survivors due to the pandemic, members of the subcommittee also began a project focused on providing resources for human trafficking victims (and victims of other forms of violence and abuse) for hospitals and clinics to incorporate into the After Visit Summaries they provide to patients.
