Yesterday, September 2, 2026, the St. Luke`s Child Protection Center was honored with the Omaha FBI Director`s Community Leadership Award (DCLA).

“The key building blocks in partnerships are the meaningful interactions and engagements between the FBI and community organizations like St. Luke’s Child Protection Center, which are integral to day-to-day operations—especially in times of crisis” said ASAC Price. “St. Luke’s Child Protection Center provides a centralized approach to the investigation of suspected child abuse and abuse or neglect of dependent adults. By allowing the FBI to use their child-friendly, safe facility and consistently partnering with the FBI during the processing of suspected abuse allegations, the FBI investigate crimes against children in a more efficient and timely manner”.

“We are honored to receive the FBI Director’s Community Leadership Award and grateful for the FBI’s recognition of the work being done by our team to protect children in Eastern Iowa,” said Julie Kelly-Molander, Manager, UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Child Protection Center. “The Child Protection Center’s ability to serve children and families depends on strong partnerships with law enforcement and other professionals who share our commitment to child safety. We are proud to work alongside the FBI and our community partners to ensure children who have experienced abuse receive a coordinated, compassionate response.”

The St. Luke`s Child Protection Center is one of our six member organizations. We could not be more proud of the incredible and impactful work they are doing and are very excited to see them being recognized for their dedication to children and families. 💙
