Child and Infant Recovery Program (CAIRE)

The Child and Infant Recovery Effort (CAIRE) at Blank Children's Hospital provides services for a number of infants and children exposed to drugs prior to birth. It is the goal of CAIRE to help each child and family to recovery without labeling or judging. Early identification and intervention for children exposed to drugs is the emphasis, so they can live a healthier life.

· General physical examinations with a focus on neurological issues and problems such as muscle tone and tremors caused by the effects of drugs on the child's brain.

· Developmental screening.

· Assessment of need for referral to other special needs services such as speech therapy or psychological evaluations.

· Family-centered coordination of in-home services.


Dear Springfest Horse Show Friends:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank every­one involved with the Springiest Horse Show for choosing to benefit the Regional Child Protection Center at Blank Children's Hospital.  Over the past six years the Springiest Horse Show has helped raise more than $20,000 for Blank Children's Hospital, making vital programs such as the Regional Child Protection Center possible. Thank you so much for your generosity and support.    .

 

Sincerely,

 

Rizwan Shah, MD
