ROSCOMMON – The Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center (NMCAC) is pleased to announce it has received a grant in the amount of $7,280 from the Roscommon Downtown Development Authority (DDA) to support the construction of a new, dedicated entrance to the Medical Suite at its Roscommon facility.
The new entrance will enhance privacy, safety, and accessibility for the children, adults, and families who receive services through the Center’s medical program. The Medical Suite provides specialized services including Sexual Assault Nurse Examinations (SANE) for both children and adults, as well as other medical assessments that require a confidential and supportive environment.
“As our services continue to grow, ensuring the dignity and privacy of every client remains a top priority,” said Rebecca Yuncker, Executive Director of the Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center. “This dedicated entrance will allow individuals seeking medical services to access care discreetly while helping us maintain the highest standards of confidentiality and safety. We are grateful to the Roscommon DDA for recognizing the importance of this project and investing in the well-being of our community.”
The Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center serves six counties throughout Northern Michigan and provides a comprehensive range of services for children and families impacted by abuse, including forensic interviews, victim advocacy, medical services, prevention education, and therapeutic support.
Because multiple services often occur simultaneously within the facility, the dedicated Medical Suite entrance creates a separate access point for medical clients, reducing traffic through shared spaces and providing a more comfortable experience for those seeking care during difficult and sensitive circumstances.
The project reflects NMCAC’s ongoing commitment to creating a safe, welcoming, and trauma-informed environment where children, adults, and families can begin their journey toward healing.
The Northern Michigan Children’s Assessment Center extends its sincere appreciation to the Roscommon Downtown Development Authority for its support of this important enhancement to the Center and the services it provides to the community.
