Children’s National Medical Center has a long-standing history of advocating for children in the Washington, DC region and around the nation. More than 30 years ago, Children’s established the nation’s first hospital-based office focused exclusively on child health advocacy and has continued to make advocacy a priority by incorporating it into the institution’s mission.
The Child Health Advocacy Institute (CHAI) at Children’s National identifies and studies threats facing children, and develops and implements programs to address those threats. As a national leader in the field of pediatric health advocacy, our goal is to improve the health outcomes through discovery, delivery and dissemination of best practices.
