Each year, this program provides hundreds of medical evaluations for suspected cases of physical abuse, sexual abuse and neglect. These multidisciplinary evaluations occur in the inpatient setting, outpatient clinics, as well as the city's regional Child Advocacy Center. The team works closely with local investigators to ensure timely communication of the medical findings with each case.
