Advocacy and the community

Advocate for children.

Community benefits: How we help the community.

Community programs.

A message from Peggy Troy, RN, MSN, president and CEO of Children's Hospital and Health System

Our mission is to improve the health status of children. It's that simple. Of all the programs that Children's Hospital and Health System offers to our community and beyond, it all comes down to them: our children.

We are committed to dedicating resources to our community to enhance the well-being of our children. That dedication is demonstrated through:

• Caregiving. As one of the nation's top children's hospitals, we offer some of the nation's best medical and social service care through multiple specialties and interdisciplinary collaboration.
• Advocacy. Through federal, state and community relationships and health, social service, research and programs, the health system works to speak up and protect our children.
• Research. Research throughout the health system advances state-of-the-art pediatric health care through translational research programs to find life-saving discoveries and cures in the diseases that affect children. These include interventions that enhance quality of life for children and families living with chronic health conditions.
• Education. From teaching kids and families how to stay healthy, to teaching future caregivers for the next generation, the health system incorporates education in every area.

Thank you for helping us raise the health status of children.

Sincerely,

Peggy Troy, RN, MSN
President and CEO
Children's Hospital and Health System
