Detecting Human Trafficking at Baptist Outpatient Services

Recent studies have shown that up to 50% of trafficking victims in the United States were seen by healthcare professionals while in captivity and were not identified. In 2018, Florida ranked third in the number of human trafficking cases reported in the United States.
