The NIH awarded Northwestern University $3.3 million to implement a secure firearm storage program at community health centers, aiming to reduce firearm injury and mortality among youth.

Community health centers and organizations serving low-income individuals are disproportionately impacted by the recent hack on Change Healthcare, disrupting payments for thousands.
