Schuh, MUSC associate professor of pediatrics-endocrinology, is nationally known for her expertise in the area of child sexual abuse. She has performed thousands of forensic exams on children in the Charleston community while on staff at MUSC and through the Dee Norton Lowcountry Children’s Center. She has served on the HALOS board of directors since the beginning and is listed among America’s best doctors in 2009-2010.
 
“I can’t think of a more deserving choice for the Eve Spratt Award,” said Kim Clifton, HALOS executive director. “Dr. Schuh has devoted her entire career to better outcomes for child victims of sexual abuse. She continues to advocate for children through HALOS and other child focused agencies.”
  
The Eve Spratt Award is given annually to an individual who has made a major impact in the Charleston community to combat child abuse and neglect and exemplifies the mission of the organization which is “to provide resources and special opportunities to abused and neglected children and their caregivers through partnerships with faith-based and other community organizations.”
