Kara Huls, M.D., assistant professor in the Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, was featured by the Child Trafficking Solutions Project (CTSP) in a hero spotlight.

CTSP coordinates community-based solutions to prevent, recognize & respond to child trafficking. Dr. Huls was honored for her contributions and establishment of the Sunrise Clinic at Children’s of Alabama, which is a nationally recognized center for providing care for victims of child trafficking.

“The vision of Sunrise is to earnestly acknowledge the value of every person who suffers the terrible trauma of trafficking,” said Dr. Huls. “We are here to celebrate the courage it takes to move forward and to equip survivors to continue their journey with a healthy body, a healthy mind, and a team of supporters who accept them as a whole, healing person.”

Congratulations Dr. Huls!
