Does anyone know of any hospital or hospital system in the United States which has worked to integrate trauma-informed practices into their work? Thanks for any direction or ideas!

I presented at the Southeast ACEs Summit held in Ashville last Sept. I would suggest you follow up with MAHEC (Mountain Area Health Education Center) as they hosted it and there were hospitals that attended and spoke during interactive sessions of experiences attempting to incorporate ACEs. My greatest concern with hospital systems is using ACEs as part of triage and ranking access to care based upon probability of healing/recovery. Believe it or not, there were hints that this practice was already being considered.
