No Hit Zones

No Hit Zones promote healthy relationships and safe environments across the lifespan through awareness, education and skill-building. A No Hit Zone is an environment that supports a culture of safety and health where: No adult shall hit another adult. No adult shall hit a child. No child shall hit an adult. No child shall hit another child. The No Hit Zone concept was originally created by Lolita McDavid, MD, professor of pediatrics at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in 2005. The University of Louisville - Kosair Children’s Hospital is also recognized as an early No Hit Zone champion following their 2012 implementation. Since its initial inception within pediatric hospital settings, No Hit Zones have expanded throughout the country and beyond the walls of hospitals.
