Ohio Hospital Association, Ohio Attorney General Urge Human Trafficking Protocols at Hospitals

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and OHA are urging hospitals in the state to call attention to the role health care professionals can have in identifying and helping human trafficking victims.

“One of the most effective steps that medical institutions can take to properly identify and assist human trafficking victims is to develop a specialized response protocol. Many protocols for healthcare organizations have been developed and can be found online. For example, one specific healthcare protocol can be found at https://healtrafficking.org/ under the Resources tab.”
