Children at Risk Evaluation (CARE) Center

Featured Image for CARE Center dept image

The CARE Center evaluates and initiates treatment for children of suspected physical or sexual abuse and neglect. We have a team of doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses and social workers who see children and teens referred by private physicians, law enforcement agencies, child protection agencies and other community agencies. We also provide consultation when abuse is suspected for a child on an inpatient hospital unit.
