Child Advocacy
The Children's Hospital Foundation Office of Child Advocacy takes pride in being the voice for all children. We believe that through prevention, intervention and education we can have a positive impact on child safety, influence policies that affect children and their families, and provide health education to enhance our communities, families, and the lives of all children.
In 2010, The Office of Child Advocacy will continue to provide existing programs and maintain cohesive partnerships, while focusing additional efforts on legislative, hospital and communities needs. Listed below are highlights of ongoing advocacy efforts.
