Voices Carry also provides a private medical for children and teens, as well and adults with cognitive disabilities, who are suspected victims of abuse and other crimes. The on-site facility will ensure that clients receive medical services in a child-friendly setting, streamline referrals, and ease transportation barriers. The renovated stone cottage will also improve access to Voices Carry’s services for kids and families with physical disabilities by serving as an accessible dual-purpose facility with a forensic interview space.

The medical room was only possible because of many generous businesses and donors. We are particularly fortunate for the vision and expertise of pediatrician Dr. Deb Crawford, who continues to support us by offering medical exams for the children we serve.

We recommend that all children who may have been abused receive a medical examination by a pediatric child abuse specialist in a child-friendly environment. If your child visits Voices Carry for a forensic interview, he or she may be referred for a medical exam.
