United Physicians of Newtown
See what this dedicated group of Physicians is doing.....
On December 14, 2012 Newtown, Connecticut was traumatized by one of the worst mass-murders in American history. In the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, over 100 doctors from Newtown have united as a professional voice for their grieving town. Although their specialties differ, their goal is the same-to stop the national epidemic that has taken so many children. These physicians believe that gun violence is a major public health issue and can be successfully addressed as with other previous United States epidemics including tobacco, alcohol and motor vehicle safety.

UPDATE: AAP Leadership Forum
At the recent AAP Annual Leadership Forum held in March in Chicago, our Connecticut Chapter introduced a resolution prompted by the recent tragedy in Sandy Hook, Connecticut. At the request of Connecticut pediatricians and United Physicians of Newtown, Sandi Carbonari, CTAAP Board President, sponsored a resolution asking the Academy take a leadership role in reducing the pervasive glamorization and acceptance of violence in our society. The resolution was passed with 97% approval and 205 members voting. Read the full resolution.
Our chapter leadership was touched by the many AAP members from around the world who personally expressed concern and offered support and help to their colleagues in Newtown.
