Meanwhile, our director of research Dr. Jessica Beard was recognized with the Pina Templeton Injury Prevention Award by the American Trauma Society and the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation for her presentation on our work, and both Jessica and PCGVR founder Jim MacMillan named among Philadelphia Magazine’s 150 Most Influential Philadelphians.

On November 15 we will hold our first Gun Violence Prevention Reporter Certification Workshop and we are making preliminary plans for a national conference here in Philadelphia next spring.
