Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative | | |
The Firearm Injury Prevention Initiative (FIPI) strives to prevent firearm-related injuries and deaths in homes and communities across Colorado and the U.S. through collaboration, research, and education.
Their approach is rooted in:
- Recognition of a common goal of health and security,
- Respect for and consideration of a wide range of views and experiences, and
- Engagement of impacted communities and those with lived experiences
| |
FIPI works toward effective, innovative approaches to firearm injury prevention in Colorado and across the U.S. through:
Collaboration: Partnership and engagement with impacted communities and those with lived experiences optimizes identification and impact of effective, acceptable solutions. A future with zero firearm-related injuries or deaths is only possible through the development of multidisciplinary networks of collaborators.
Research: Action-oriented, innovative research, including evaluation, supports the development and dissemination of effective, acceptable approaches to firearm injury and violence prevention.
Education: Outstanding education is needed to disseminate promising, effective approaches among affected communities, policy makers, front-line gatekeepers, and the public. Education and mentorship also strengthen and expands the next generation of firearm-injury prevention researchers, practitioners, and professionals.

AHA’s commitment to health equity means we strive for and promote the highest possible standard of health for all people.
To Aurora Health Alliance, health equity means everyone has a fair opportunity to be as healthy as possible, regardless of race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, language, physical and mental ability, and other core aspects of identity. It requires the dismantling of structural racism through the removal of barriers to health. It requires both improving access to the care and resources needed to thrive, along with equitable treatment once that access is gained.
| | AHA Firearm Injury Prevention Statement: Firearm Violence is a serious and preventable public health crisis in our community. Aurora Health Alliance pledges to be informed, share resources, and promote existing firearm violence prevention efforts. Read more... | | |
Included information is not intended as endorsement, but as continued and focused effort to build collaboration throughout Aurora's healthcare community.
