Programming and policy activities
Children's Memorial Hospital's program and policy activities are prioritized
by a multi-disciplinary Child Advocacy Advisory Committee (CAAC) that operates
under the aegis of the hospital's Office of Child Advocacy. The CAAC prioritizes
issues that engage the hospital in strategic community partnerships and
legislative initiatives that have the greatest impact on supporting and
sustaining the well-being of children and youth. We do so by using
data-driven approaches that identify leading risk factors to children and youth;
geo-mapping areas where these risks are most prevalent; and evaluating outcomes
of our program and policy interventions. Prevention and health promotion are the
emphasis of program and policy activities selected by the CAAC for intervention.
All initiatives conducted through the Office of Child Advocacy are funded
philanthropically.
