Ohio initiative aims to fill health-care gap among domestic-violence survivors

<p>(PUBLIC NEWS SERVICE) - A new statewide initiative aims to help connect domestic-violence survivors with medical providers, with a focus on treating traumatic brain injury. Rachel Ramirez, founder the Ohio Domestic Violence Network's Center on Partner-Inflicted Brain Injury, said survivors often experience severe violence aimed directly at the head, neck and face. But there's been a longstanding gap in accessing the right medical services when individuals come into shelters. She said a portion of the initiative's more than $6-million dollars in funding will be used to pay for treatment.</p> <p><strong>How you can connect with us</strong></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/subscribe-to-the-podcast-2/">Subscribe to the podcast</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/support-the-show/">Ways you can support the show</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/category/podcast/">Check out our latest podcasts</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/connect-with-me/">Connect with Chris Pugh on social media</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/save-money/">Ways you can save money</a></p> <p><a href="https://viewfromthepugh.club/big-contest-page/">Check out our latest contests</a></p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/viewfromthepugh/message
