The St. Barnabas Hospital Child Advocacy Center, a division of the St. Barnabas Hospital Department of Pediatrics, is a state of the art diagnostic facility for children who have been abused and neglected.

Our mission is to ensure the safety, health, and well -being of children. We provide coordinated, culturally sensitive, multidisciplinary evaluations in a safe and child friendly setting.

Referrals are welcome from families, Child Protective Services, Law Enforcement, the District Attorney, schools, daycare, and community organizations.
