Join us on Tuesday, May 13, 2025, from 1:00–2:00 p.m. eastern time to learn more about VEPT and what you can do as part of a local team to address elder abuse. The Weill Cornell/New York-Presbyterian Hospital’s Vulnerable Elder Protection Team (VEPT) is a first-of-its-kind emergency department/hospital-based multidisciplinary team created to address elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. VEPT is a consultation service available 24/7 to assess, treat, and ensure the safety of older victims of abuse while also collecting evidence, when appropriate, and working closely with APS and law enforcement. VEPT brings together health care professionals, law enforcement, social workers, and legal experts to provide a coordinated response to elder abuse cases.
