IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL SUMMIT
Hosted by Northwell Health’s CEO Michael Dowling, the Gun Violence Prevention Forum is an annual convening of key healthcare and cross-sector leaders to form alliances, drive strategy, and elevate the national conversation around gun violence as a public health emergency.
This ground-breaking public health summit is focused on mobilizing collective efforts within the healthcare industry. And now – building on the significant momentum we have seen in healthcare and at a national level – is the urgent time to mobilize from advocacy to action.
In 2025, the Gun Violence Prevention Forum welcomed 150+ dedicated leaders in-person in New York City and was streamed live by a global audience of 3,000+ changemakers.
You can view available sessions from the 2025 event, here.

The inaugural Gun Violence Prevention Forum led to the creation of the Center for Gun Violence Prevention—an initiative that calls for the critical need to implement evidence-based firearm injury and mortality prevention strategies in health care, especially within at-risk communities.
