Children's hospitals serve as the driving force in addressing children's health needs and advocating for policies that support pediatric patients and their caregivers. These specialized healthcare facilities provide exceptional care, innovative research, comprehensive education programs, and essential community outreach initiatives.
Beyond providing clinical care to young patients, children’s hospitals offer a range of supportive services such as housing access assistance, nutrition security programs, educational support, and more, specifically tlored for patient families' needs. For those managing chronic illnesses or medical complexities, whole-child programs are designed to improve outcomes, while hands-on engagement empowers families to effectively care for their child.

Their commitment exts beyond medical treatment; they apply quality improvement methods to areas such as health equity and behavioral and mental health to enhance outcomes for all children.
