Going Well Beyond Medicine
About 80% of what affects a child’s health takes place in their home, school and community. ¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ· Children’s is making a difference with programs that address nonmedical challenges — to create a healthier future, for all kids.
Reimagining Children’s Health
We’re transforming the idea of what it takes to keep children well, beyond medicine. Besides providing world-class clinical care, we’re addressing the social, economic, behavioral and environmental factors that affect kids every day.
Collaboration Is Key
Creating healthier generations of children depends on strategic partnerships with parents, employers, community groups, government agencies and others. Together, we gain a broader understanding of the obstacles and think of new and different ways to overcome them.
A Call for Change
The framework of the nation’s health care system doesn’t always work for children. We’re advocating for health reforms, raising awareness of the issues facing young people and advancing policies with lasting impact for generations to come.
