1 in 3 women in the United States has experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

Behind every statistic is a woman whose story matters — a mother, sister, daughter, or friend. At MedEx Academy, we stand with survivors and advocate for safety, empowerment, and healing.

If you or someone you know needs help, you are not alone.
