Pediatrics

Children of all ages depend on primary care for wellness and when illnesses arise or chronic conditions need to be managed. Some newborn babies and children may need intensive care in the NICU or pediatric ICU. Or a child could need a stay in the hospital to treat an injury or ailment. Your support of Bon Secours Pediatrics means kids get the most experienced medical team, specialized equipment, and the latest treatments to help them return to good health.

Violence Response Team

Thanks to funding from donors like you, Bon Secours can offer a special resource known as the Violence Response Team, which includes both forensic nursing and victim advocacy support. Specialty-trained nurses are available 24 hours a day to care for sexual and physical abuse victims. The entire team helps vulnerable victims begin healing, and also plays a vital role in the justice system. A discreet unit provides victims with privacy for support and examinations.

Forensic nurses and victim advocates help patients of all ages when the unthinkable has happened, including sexual assault and human trafficking, child and elder abuse. They work with victims to build trust that has been broken by abuse. They collect evidence for investigations, including taking fluid and hair samples, photographing evidence and testifying in court cases. Our Violence Response Team also train other nurses across the region and provide community education to increase available support and expertise for victims of violence.

Donations for the NICU save lives and give babies a chance at a bright future.
