Community Partners

The Pediatric Department partners with many local and regional organizations. The following organizations work with us to offer community learning opportunities to the SUNY Upstate Pediatric Residents.

The McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Site provides a safe, child friendly environment for child abuse victims and their non-offending family members. Pediatric residents spend time at this site while participating in the activities of the Child Abuse Referral and Evaluation Program (a medical program for abused children).
