Too often, children suffer because of society’s malaise: drug abuse, violence, prejudice, and poverty, to name only four. This program illustrates how hospital employees at Children’s Memorial deal with child abuse while working to prevent it. "Domestic violence, child abuse, child neglect.

The video also profiles a boy born with HIV who continues to beat the heavy odds against him through the cutting-edge efforts of the hospital’s pediatric and maternal HIV clinic. (56 minutes)
