“I tell people all the time … it’s actually easier for me to heal the physical wounds of gun violence than it is for us to deal with the emotional, mental, and social needs of these children and families that are really going to last for the rest of their lives,” said Dr. Regan Williams, Le Bonheur’s medical director of trauma services.
