Activity 3

The foundation funded the care center, a clinic for the diagnosis, treatment and legal documentation of sexually abused children, the only center of its kind in the region, serving a six-county area. The care center works as part of a continuum of care with social service agencies and, working with state's attorneys' offices, also assists in the successful prosecution of sexual predators. A total of 86 clients were served in calendar year 2011. Short term objectives include increasing census through re-education of referring agencies and law enforcement. Constant re-training is needed because of staff turnover at these agencies. Longer term objectives include increasing the clinic availability as currently there is one clinic day per week for appointments plus emergency room visits. There will also be an exam room added in the planned remodeling of the pediatrics area and this will be used as needed to cross-train pediatric nurses to work with sexual abuse cases.
