That’s why #CHFund is committed to:
💉 Ensuring children receive vaccines on time, protecting them from preventable illnesses.
💪 Supporting caregivers’ health, so parents have the strength to care for their little ones.

The first 5 years of a child’s life are a time of wonder. The first smile. The first wobbly steps. The first book held in tiny hands. These moments may seem small, but they carry extraordinary weight. They are the foundation of a healthy, thriving future.

Every day is #NationalChildHealthDay at #CHFund where we have provided 7.5 million healthcare visits in 38 years.

Happy #WorldTeachersDay! #CHFund is deeply grateful for educators who give so much every day to help children. That’s why our HRL initiative partners with schools and teachers to provide health resources that support educators, families, and students because healthy kids are ready to learn.

Trump’s Medicaid Cuts Were Aimed at ‘Able-Bodied Adults.’ Hospitals Say Kids Will Be Hurt. - KFF Health News The GOP said its overhaul of Medicaid was aimed at reducing fraud and getting more adult beneficiaries to work. Among the likely side effects: fewer services and doctors for treating sick children.

Children’s hospitals rely on #Medicaid for about half their revenue. Federal cuts from H.R. 1 put children’s health at risk by reducing access to critical care.
