Every year, domestic violence results in an estimated 100,000 days of hospitalization, 30,000 emergency department visits and 40,000 visits to a physician.

A study conducted at Rush Medical Center in Chicago found that the average charge for medical service provided to abused women was $1,633 per person per year.

This amounts to a national annual cost of $857.3 million.

Where will those broken and lost families turn to find the long road back to a normal and happy life?
