What We Do

California Children’s Hospital Association

The California Children’s Hospital Association is a non-profit trade association that advocates on behalf of California’s children’s hospitals with state and federal policymakers. Among other things, CCHA:

  • Analyzes state and federal health policy proposals, including proposed legislation and regulations, to determine potential impacts to pediatric healthcare providers and their patients.
  • Seeks to educate policymakers and the public about children’s hospitals and the regionalized system of care that they provide for children with complex health conditions.
  • Advocates for the adoption of state and federal policies that promote the health and wellbeing of children and recognize the unique role that children’s hospitals play in the delivery of pediatric specialty care to children with medical complexity, regardless of family income.
  • Serves as a source of information about state and federal laws and proposals that relate to pediatric specialty care in California and California’s children’s hospitals in particular.
  • Partners with other advocates for children and health care advocacy organizations to promote thoughtful and evidence-based pediatric health care policies.

California Children’s Hospitals

California’s eight freestanding children’s hospitals, their clinics and affiliated physicians are the backbone of pediatric care in California. They are staffed and equipped to see children at every stage of acuity across the spectrum of disease and injury, treating everything from common earaches and asthma attacks to pediatric organ transplants, cardiac surgery and cancer. They protect and extend children’s lives through outstanding patient care and safety, internationally respected pediatric research, and training for the pediatricians of tomorrow.

All children require health care that focuses on their unique needs and involves their parents from start to finish. Children with special health care needs are particularly in need of care provided in places designed exclusively for kids. Children’s hospitals provide care that keeps kids healthy and in school, preparing them for successful, productive adult lives.
