OurHistory
50 Years of Advancement and Impact
In 1962, Dr. Henry C. Kempe and his colleagues exposed the reality of child abuse for the first time in their defining paper, The Battered Child Syndrome. This paper is lauded as the single most significant event in giving doctors a way to identify and understand child abuse.
Inspired by these findings, Dr. Kempe founded the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect in 1972 to create a network of professionals to improve the care and well-being of children and families everywhere. Today, the Kempe Center is recognized as a world leader in innovating solutions to prevent and treat child abuse, neglect and trauma.
The Kempe Foundation is committed to our continued investment in research, advocacy, education and training that will provide opportunities for all children and families to live safe and healthy lives.
