Children's Hospital and Health System is committed to ensuring a healthier future for children by providing an integrated and coordinated health services network for infants, children and adolescents. This mission is accomplished through: Caregiving, Advocacy, Research and Education.
Advocacy is a key component to help ensure and improve the health and well- being of all children. Children and families face many issues throughout life that are influenced by local, state and federal policies. Many confront laws regarding abuse, neglect, chronic illness or disability during times of stress and often need the assistance of organizations like Children's Hospital and Health System to help them voice their concerns.
Advocacy efforts rely on the strength and action of volunteer grassroots individuals who care about kids and want to make a difference. Too often, children don't have a voice in the decisions that affect them and their families. Children's Hospital and Health System's advocacy efforts are aimed at making sure that concerns for children are heard when public policies are made. Join now and become an advocate for children.
The goals of Children's Hospital and Health System Advocacy initiative are to:
- Improve the health and well-being of children by positively impacting public policy in a way that is more sensitive to the needs of children.
- Build a network of supporters and create a stronger voice through organized advocacy efforts.
These goals are achieved through legislative input, public awareness and individual action.
