About SC Children's Advocacy

The South Carolina Children’s Advocacy Medical Response System (SCCAMRS) is charged by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services to develop and manage clinical guidelines, quality standards and a comprehensive educational resource system to practice in the field of child abuse pediatrics in the state.

Our office receives state funding to administer a claim reimbursement program for forensic medical evaluations delivered by state health care providers meeting these qualification standards. This allows us to assist and support the state’s children’s hospitals and SC Network of Children’s Advocacy Centers in their efforts to continue and maintain access to these specialized medical services.
