    Children's Health Care
    The core of Children’s Health Fund's services is providing comprehensive health care to underserved children.
    We partner with major academic medical centers to deliver care to disadvantaged children in rural and urban areas.
    Through our unique mobile medical clinics and fixed-site clinics, we offer an enhanced medical home to thousands of children each year.
    Advocacy
    Children’s Health Fund is a respected, active voice regarding child health care policy on Capital Hill and in state capitals around the country.
    Promoting policies to address health care challenges seen in the field every day, we educate and advocate to eliminate the barriers that prevent children from getting the care they need.
    Children in Crisis
    Dealing with the aftermath of major disasters, and assessing the impact of catastrophes on high risk, vulnerable children are part of Children’s Health Fund’s mission.
    By documenting the impact of major disasters, we are able to share what we’ve learned with communities and health care providers as well as advocate with policy makers in order to protect vulnerable children and provide vitally needed services.
