The Referral and
Evaluation of At-Risk Children (REACH) clinic’s goal is not only to treat patients
with the highest quality of care, but also to identify children who are at risk
and make appropriate referrals. If abuse or neglect is determined in any
patient treated at the clinic, child welfare services will be contacted.
The clinic is staffed by
specially trained physicians, as well as pediatric nurse practitioners who are
experienced in recognizing the signs of child abuse and neglect and intervening
when appropriate.
After evaluation,
we ensure each child gets the treatment
they need – including psychosocial support and other resources to help overcome
the difficulties associated with physical abuse, sexual abuse, failure to
thrive, and neglect.
