CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

Veronica Morris Moore lives in a Chicago neighborhood with one of the highest crime and homicide rates, yet there's no trauma center for victims of violence within a 30 minute drive (10 miles).
The University of Chicago, the closest hospital, admits kids up to age 17 at their trauma center. Moore's friend, 18-year-old Damian Turner, wasn't admitted and died of his injuries.
After he passed, Moore and some of her peers started a movement to get a trauma center built on the South Side, and she joined Good Day to talk about their efforts.
