Bon Secours Addresses
Human Trafficking
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month. Bon Secours Richmond CEO Toni Ardabell wrote this powerful column for the Richmond Times-Dispatch stressing Bon Secours' commitment to fighting this often-invisible crime.
"The fight against human trafficking is a priority for the congregation of Bon Secours and the Bon Secours national ministries. It is a natural fit for our health system, and we are committed to partnering with local organizations to build awareness and educate the community. And for the past 18 months, we have been training our medical staff, employees and Care-A-Van staff about the realities of human trafficking in our community, specifically focusing on our access points such as emergency departments, clinics and physician practices, where victims may come for care."
