Case study: Human trafficking prevention at Dignity Health

With a span of providers reaching almost half the country, the Dignity Health system kicked off its Human Trafficking Response (HTR) Program in 2014 with the intent of identifying and helping trafficking victims. Within a year, it identified at least 31 people with high or moderate indicators that they were victims of human trafficking, and that number has grown with each year since.

Between 2007 and 2017, the National Human Trafficking Hotline has identified 43,564 human trafficking victims living in the U.S. At least 88% of these victims visit a healthcare provider at least once during their captivity and aren’t recognized as victims, say experts.
