About Us
Leadership for our community mission
Boston Children's Hospital relies on two leadership groups, the Board Committee for Community Service and the Community Advisory Board, to assist the Office of Child Advocacy in implementing the hospital's community mission. In addition to serving as ambassadors for the hospital in the community, members of both boards provide guidance on our overall strategy and on how we can address the needs of Boston children and families.
