community health
Optimal child health and wellness are about so much more than we can influence within the walls of the hospital. 80% of a child’s health is determined by their environment and other conditions outside their clinical care. Sadly, there are thousands of children whose health is being negatively impacted by adverse social factors on a daily basis. With your help, we will improve the health status of all children by expanding our community health and outreach programs, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.
