The Pediatric Resource Center (PRC) is a community service program of the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria. The PRC provides direct services to suspected child victims of physical abuse, sexual abuse, and neglect in a child-friendly manner and setting. Medical and social service staff also provide adjunct services to parents, guardians and caretakers. Additionally, they work in collaboration with the many agencies and systems that are involved in a child abuse case.
The PRC also strives to enhance the community's response to the multi-faceted problem of child abuse and neglect through training and education. The Pediatric Resource Center, in partnership with the Children's Hospital of Illinois at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, serves as a resource to the community and to child abuse professionals throughout the state by offering the following services: an annual Child Abuse Prevention Campaign in April covering numerous Central Illinois counties; maintaining a state-wide consortium of physicians, nurses and child abuse advocates; and provision of information on various aspects of child abuse through training, consultation and a lending library.
