What Sets Us Apart
Advocacy Excellence
Children’s Advocacy team, established in 1998, was one of the first hospital child protection teams in the country. This multidisciplinary team reviews all suspected cases of child abuse and neglect throughout the Children’s enterprise. The team is standardizing how we treat abuse and neglect cases, ensuring that all Children’s providers can recognize signs of abuse and neglect and know exactly what steps to take.
Expert Team
Children’s is a leader in caring for abuse victims, with Suzanne Haney, MD, FAAP, the only board-certified child abuse pediatrician in Nebraska. We partner with Project Harmony, a National Children’s Alliance accredited center in Omaha, where staff collaborate with investigators to conduct interviews, exams and provide advocacy for children affected by abuse or neglect.
