About Us

This commitment to helping children stay healthy and safe goes far beyond our walls. At Children's, we believe that when children are healthy-- with access to quality and culturally responsive services, policies that promote good health, and programs that focus on prevention -- then our community will be healthier too.

Our strategy for community health, "Healthy Children. Healthy Communities." requires working with the community on the areas affecting Boston children:

At the same time, Children's is expanding advocacy efforts to ensure that children can access the services and programs they need. Using data and information generated from successful programs, the hospital is working with decision-makers such as legislators, insurers, providers and public health officials to "make the case" for broader acceptance and adoption of proven interventions and approaches.
