​​ Sexual Assault Awareness Month

In the United States, sexual violence impacts nearly 500,000 individuals each year. This issue is recognized each April during Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM). The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) selected the 2024 SAAM theme, Building Connected Communities, because "Community is powerful. It creates a sense of belonging and reminds us of how our beliefs, choices, and actions impact one another." Having safe spaces and open dialogue surrounding sexual violence creates a protective barrier against sexual violence. 

Inspired by this theme, the Indiana Youth Advisory Board (IYAB) has created a social media toolkit​ to raise awareness for and prevent sexual violence in Indiana. In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, help spread awareness of this important issue by wearing denim today and resharing SAAM information on your social media.

​​Join us on Apr. 26 for an IHA Member Webinar on Economic Impact Reporting

Hospitals are often well-equipped at explaining the community benefit provided in their primary service areas, but the true economic benefits of the organization are likely not included in those promotions. Join Matt Browning, IHA's Senior Vice President of Member Solutions and Engagement, who will talk about the resources available to IHA members to estimate the direct and indirect economic impact of your hospital's operations in your community. This round table discussion is on Friday, April 26 at 12:30 p.m. ET and is brought to you by Indiana Healthcare Marketing & Public Relations Society (IHMPRS) in conjunction with Indiana Hospital Association (IHA). Membership in IHMPRS is not required to attend the presentation. IHMPRS Round Table​

Anyone from an IHA member organization is encouraged to attend. Join the presentation via Microsoft Teams using this link.
