Connecticut Children’s is committed to helping children reach their full potential. Our efforts to keep children well and thriving, known as “population health," include strengthening families and communities through partnerships so they are best positioned to support children’s optimal health, development and well-being; advancing initiatives that address the social determinants of health, such as healthy housing, food and nutrition, early literacy, and violence prevention, that are known to have a profound impact on child health and development; helping community pediatricians and family practitioners provide the highest quality of care to children; advancing equity in healthcare and beyond; and engaging all sectors, beyond child health services, that impact children’s outcomes.
