Dr. Alicia Moreland and Healing Hurt People discussed Cascadia’s hospital-based gang violence intervention program in a recent Portland Observer article. Here’s a quote from Dr. Moreland:
“We had a lot of people in my family who were ill, we’d go to hospitals here in the Portland area and there just weren’t a lot of people that looked like us that were taking care of my family,” she says. Now with Healing Hurt People, she is looking to make good on her dream of bringing more culturally relevant care to the Portland area.
