The University of Iowa has an established tradition of providing services
for suspected victims of child abuse and neglect.
The mission
of the Child Protection Program at UI Children's Hospital is to promote the safety,
protection, and well being of children through the coordination
of assessment, educational, therapeutic, and intervention services. With
this mission in mind, the Child Protection Program provides
evaluation, consultation and educational services to medical professionals
and families within the UI Children's Hospital and,
extramurally, to community agencies in Johnson County, Eastern Iowa and
the State of Iowa at large as part of the Division
of General Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
Via Child Assessment
Clinic, which is the outpatient services section of the Child Protection
Program, a safe and child friendly environment is provided to interview
children who are alleged to be victims of abuse.
