ICYMI: Watch CHA's President and CEO, Matthew Cook's video discussing the importance of coming together under the banner of #TeamCHA during Family Advocacy Day to advocate for children's health and the children's hospitals and health systems who provide lifesaving care. #FAD2024 ⤵
The Children’s Hospital Association’s Family Advocacy Day (FAD) is more than just an advocacy event—it's a powerful movement. As I reflect on my first FAD as CHA’s President and CEO, I am proud to have stood alongside over 300 children, their families, and children’s hospitals and health systems as they humanized the issues that impact children's health. From supporting Medicaid sustainability to advancing pediatric research, the stories shared during FAD remind us that these aren't just policy debates—they're life-changing decisions that affect real families across the country. When families share their personal health care journeys with lawmakers, it creates a profound connection that transcends numbers and statistics. Together, we must continue to fight for the policies and support that provide the best care for children. #FAD2024 #TeamCHA Watch my video to learn more about the importance of Family Advocacy Day.

To build a stronger community through more equitable spending, Cleveland Clinic prioritizes the use of diverse and local suppliers within its Cleveland, Ohio, community. “We think of ourselves as an anchor institution. We’re a major employer, and as a provider of health services, we’re responsible to help make this the healthiest community we can,” said Steve Downey, chief of supply chain and support services at Cleveland Clinic, the parent system of Cleveland Clinic Children's. “Having a diverse group of suppliers is part of that.” Learn about Cleveland Clinic's diverse supplier strategy: https://lnkd.in/dUdPdjPH

Staffing respiratory care positions has long been challenging for health care leaders, and the COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated those concerns. A 2021 National Board for Respiratory Care - NBRC report highlighted two troubling trends: nearly 100,000 respiratory therapists (RTs) will leave the profession by the end of this decade, and enrollment in respiratory care education programs in the U.S. has declined 27% since 2010. When Riley Children's Health, part of Indiana University Health, vacancy rates reached 50%, it called for an overhaul of the organization’s recruitment and retention practices. Their efforts have nearly doubled its overall number of respiratory care new hires — from 33 in 2022 to 60 in 2023. Learn about their 3 areas of focus: https://lnkd.in/eVT5gu9Z
