Jeffrey J. Barrows BA, DO, MA

Dr. Jeffrey Barrows is the Founder of Gracehaven, a shelter for adolescent girls in central Ohio. Gracehaven seeks, through Christian love, to provide shelter and rehabilitation to girls under the age of 18 who have been victims of commercial sexual exploitation, and to raise awareness among young women about the issue of domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) in order to educate and equip them so that they can avoid becoming victims themselves.
As an Obstetrician/Gynecologist on staff with the Christian Medical Association, in 2005 he was asked by the State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons to research the health consequences of human trafficking. Since 2005, Dr Barrows has submitted an annual report on the health consequences of human trafficking to the Director of the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.
