(Left to right) Scott Brooks, Executive Director, The Integrity Project, and respected emergency room physician and public health expert Dr. Arthur Kellermann collaborate for an Integrity Matters conversation, ‘The Power of Listening: Truth Telling on Gun Safety and Public Health.’

In this episode of Integrity Matters, hosted by Integrity Project's Executive Director Scott Brooks, we sit down with Dr. Arthur Kellermann, a trailblazer in emergency medicine and public health.

Kellermann's groundbreaking research helped define gun violence as a public health crisis. Drawing from decades of experience, Dr. Kellermann shares how data can save lives, what happens when it’s silenced, and the importance of open dialogues from a place of compassion when discussing sensitive issues.

This powerful conversation highlights the vital role of evidence in protecting public health, and what’s at stake when truth becomes a casualty of conflict.
