Illinois Medical Network of Child Advocates

In collaboration with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services, Division of Child Protection, we have built a network of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and nurses who are dedicated to the mission of providing medical evaluations for children suspected of being abused or neglected.  Services to this network of professionals include consultation, education, discussion and collaboration on the various topics and concerns surrounding child maltreatment.  Our goals are to expand and improve medical evaluation and treatment services, and to increase prevention efforts.  The group convenes 2 to 3 times per year through in-person and teleconference contacts.

If you are a healthcare professional and have an interest in joining the Illinois Medical Network, please contact Jodie at the Pediatric Resource Center, 1.877.262.6122 or jfordham@uic.edu and leave your name, address and telephone number.
