The health and well-being of children and families is impacted by what happens both inside and outside of our hospital’s walls. 

CHOP strives to increase health equity and to positively impact children and families. Our team collaborates with experts across the hospital and the community to amplify the impact of these efforts through government action. 

These include efforts to:

• Eliminate gun injuries;
• Improve access to safe and affordable housing;
• Ensure children have access to healthy food; and
• Reduce injuries and overdoses due to poisoning. 

Many of these efforts are led by clinician advocates, in coordination with government affairs.  If you are interested in advocating on these issues, please reach out to our team so that efforts are well coordinated.
