Advocacy & Outreach

We reach beyond our hospital walls to help care for kids

The Center for Advocacy and Outreach at Blank Children's Hospital is a statewide resource for education and information regarding children's issues. We use the expertise of our healthcare staff to enhance the development of safe and healthy children in our community. We also advocate on behalf of children with our legislators about what's right for children and families, and to ensure that the laws that are passed help prevent injuries or give all children access to healthcare.
 

Our initiatives

We are concerned about the health, safety and well-being of children. We focus our efforts around the following initiatives:

  • Advocacy
  • Injury Prevention
  • Community Health
  • Medical Outreach
