Helpful Tips: To help ensure that patients who are victims of crime receive the support they need, regardless of where they reside, we have teamed up with North Philadelphia’s community-based agencies. This collaborative, comprised of Northwest Victim Services, North Central Victim Services, Congreso de Latinos Unidos and Concilio, links traumatically injured patients with victim advocates before they’ve even left the hospital.
