Mount Nittany Health Children’s Advocacy Center

The Center provides a safe, comfortable space for identification, prevention, investigation, and treatment of child abuse. The Center's dedicated and compassionate staff work with law enforcement, Centre County's Children and Youth department, and various nonprofits to care for and protect our smallest, most vulnerable community members.

73rd Annual Charity Ball

We are saddened that we cannot gather together physically and celebrate with you as we have in years past, but we remain committed to honoring the spirit of the Charity Ball celebration. So this year, instead of inviting you to a ball, we invite you to join us in making a difference in a child’s life. Your gift has the power to positively impact our smallest and most vulnerable community members.

The 2020 Charity Ball supports Mount Nittany Health Children's Advocacy Center.

"Children who have experienced abuse need the specialized and compassionate care they receive at Mount Nittany Health's Children's Advocacy Center. A visit to the Center is the beginning of a child's journey to healing.  Our multi-disciplinary approach includes specially trained Mount Nittany Physician Group pediatricians and forensic interviewers who work with law enforcement, child advocates, and mental health professionals to minimize trauma by reducing the number of times a child has to speak about their abuse. Our child-centric approach ensures that all voices are heard."
