Medical Services

After a disclosure or concern of sexual abuse, it is often helpful for a young person to see a medical health professional. The CAC’s forensically-sound, medical services are offered onsite by a specially-trained nurse practitioner. Medical services are provided in our child and teen-friendly examination room using state-of-the-art equipment. The medical exam is not painful or invasive.

The CAC Pediatric Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner provides medical care to:

  • Ensure the health and well-being of the youth
  • Reassure the youth that everything is okay with their body
  • Diagnose and treat medical conditions that may or may not be related to abuse
  • Provide video documentation of possible physical and forensic findings
  • Address any underlying medical, developmental or psychological concerns

The medical examination also provides an opportunity for the child and family to be linked to other important services and resources.
