Why are #Black babies and mothers more likely to die? Why do more Black kids have #asthma? How does racism affect Black youth’s #mentalhealth? Critical questions explored in this The Associated Press series & that Children's Health Fund's network partners are working to address each day: abcn.ws/3q7tQZc

It's officially #PrideMonth and #CHFund reconfirms our commitment to the health of #AllKids, including all #LGBTQIA kids . tinyurl.com/9bzw3fpa

#Gunviolence is now the leading cause of death among U.S. #children. It is a #publichealth and #healthequity issue. As a healthcare leader, I couldn’t agree more: We must speak out & advocate for reform. bit.ly/3qw9xov Northwell Health Michael J. Dowling Chief Healthcare Executive

#CHFund joins with others across the nation on #Juneteenth in reflecting on the meaning and promise of #freedom—including being free from obstacles and oppression that prevent people from living productive, fulfilling, and healthy lives. bit.ly/3Cw7CTw

Intergenerational #trauma can negatively impact child #mentalhealth. This is the cycle of trauma. As pediatric #healthcare providers, we need to understand the importance of a healthy #mom. Otherwise, our efforts are futile. bit.ly/3CHtw6p Dr. Jessica Uy UCLA National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

1M+ Americans have lost #Medicaid coverage since the end of pandemic protections, including "tens of thousands" of #children. We must ensure our most vulnerable communities receive the #healthcare they need to thrive & succeed: bit.ly/3pn1yK3 Secretary Xavier Becerra KFF Health News

The #1 #publichealth issue currently facing our country? It’s #gunviolence, which killed 4.3K+ U.S. children in 2020 alone. If this were an infectious disease, we'd be pooling all resources to end it. Why is this any different? Read my POV: bit.ly/443MFM4 Mediaplanet USA

How will the end of the #COVID19 #publichealth emergency impact #kids & families? CHF president & CEO Arturo Brito explores this “looming crisis ahead”: bit.ly/3PIUrGA. Thank you AAMC for helping our nat'l network get #vaccines to those who need it. @bethrites

The new recurring threat of bad air quality from #wildfiresmoke is particularly harmful to #children who breathe faster and have smaller airways. #Climatechange, an important determinant of health, has a disproportionate impact on low-income communities: bit.ly/3pN42Sm

Good to see #policymakers collaborating on solutions to address the youth #mentalhealth crisis in the US, a key priority for Children's Health Fund. Thank you Governor Phil Murphy for your leadership on this issue: wapo.st/44mEnyZ

CHF President & CEO Arturo Brito and Policy & Advocacy Coordinator Chanya Holness are in for an inspiring day at the United Hospital Fund #Medicaid Conference, where experts, policymakers, and advocates will discuss ways to improve healthcare access for all New Yorkers! #UHFMedicaid23

Wow, what an opportunity and moment to celebrate. It is likely we'll see significant reductions in hospitalizations (and lives saved) as a result of this antibody: cnn.it/44x0XVs. #RSV #kidshealth #pediatrics

We want to be fiscally responsible? Then don't cut #WIC. Cutting it will lead to nutritional deficiencies for many #infants, young #children, and their mothers; as well as more preterm births and lower birthweights. The cost to society will increase: wapo.st/3Oh0H6d

At The Constellation Forum 2023, Pastor Malcolm Byrd (middle, in 📸), Mother AME Zion Church, was clear. To paraphrase: A segment of our community has no idea or access to #AI/technology. We cannot forget that many are lacking basic health needs. We must ensure #equitable access.

At #WSJ Health Forum. During a luncheon discussion on U.S. #childhealth with a group from diverse experiences, we highlighted: #healthcare access inequities, need for quality #healthcare for all children, and need to fund #publichealth and #prevention efforts.

🚨 At 1st #PresidentialDebate, Children's Health Fund urges Kamala Harris Donald J. Trump to make #ChildrensHealthcare a priority. Millions of kids face barriers to care—poverty, lack of access & more. Read our statement: shorturl.at/i8HEc. #Election2024 David Muir Linsey Davis
