The Crawford CAC offers private medical exams and consultation for children and teens, and adults with cognitive disabilities who are suspected victims of abuse and other maltreatment. Our on-site facility ensures that the medical exam can happen in a warm, friendly setting without the inconvenience of a clinic’s common waiting room.

The renovated stone cottage we use for our exams also improves accessibility for other services by offering a location for forensic interviews for clients who may have difficulty with the stairs in our main building.

The medical room was made possible by many generous businesses and donors. We are particularly fortunate for the vision and expertise of pediatrician Dr. Deb Crawford, for whom our center is named and who continues to serve victims of abuse by offering medical exams for the children who come to the CAC.

We recommend that children who may have been abused receive an examination in a child-friendly environment by a healthcare professional with child abuse expertise. If your child visits us for a forensic interview, he or she may be offered a medical exam.
