Health
Children deserve timely, quality, affordable, coordinated and culturally-sensitive health care, nutrition, and other services that allow them to learn, grow, and thrive.
We aim to provide caregivers with the support they need to foster their kids’ healthy development from before they are born. We advocate for a system that provides timely, quality, affordable, coordinated, and culturally-sensitive medical, dental, and mental health services of all children and addresses social factors and determinants that contribute to children’s health. We lift up the unique needs of children that are often forgotten in the health system and promote efficient care with an emphasis on prevention, early detection, and disease management.
