• Dr. Jill Glick, a Pioneer in Child Abuse Pediatrics
  Dr. Jill Glick was a pediatric resident during the late 1980s, when she first witnessed this procession of preventable deaths from child abuse and neglect. In 1991 Glick established the Child Protective Services (CPS) team at Comer Children’s, bringing together doctors, police officers and officials from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to hold back the rise in child maltreatment cases that hospitals like Comer Children's had been handling.
