Abstract
ABSTRACT Baylor College of Medicine, in collaboration with city of Houston officials and local healthcare and social service agencies, created a hospital-based program to better identify and address the complex and urgent needs of patients with a history of human trafficking exploitation. This article describes the development of the city-wide public health approach to human trafficking, which brings together local hospital systems, nonprofit advocacy agencies, law enforcement, faith-based groups, and legal services to create a medical, legal and social services partnership to address the compex needs of trafficked persons. The Baylor College of Medicine Anti-Human Trafficking Program’s efforts at education, clinical care, advocacy, and research regarding patients with a history of human trafficking are highlighted, and an integrated healthcare framework is provided for other municipalities, health care leaders, and providers to consider in the development of their own anti-human trafficking programs.
