ACEsConnection Dr. David McCollum is featured in this article.

"David McCollum was an emergency room doctor that came to the realization that almost all the injured and seriously ill patients passing through his hospital emergency room doors had been abused as children. These people were leading dangerous lifestyles, often suffered from chronic illness, and met early death.

"When I met him, he spoke passionately about the Academy on Violence and Abuse www.avahealth.org and all the work being done by medical professionals to identify the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) on human beings throughout their lives.

"Dr McCollum’s observations mirrored my own experience as a CASA volunteer guardian ad-Litem for Hennepin County, as so many of the *tortured children I removed from horrible circumstances went on to lead painful, dysfunctional lives...."
