Impact

We get results. Period.

NICHQ creates transformative change in children’s health quality. From our continued efforts, more children have better access to care, better coordinated services across systems and sectors—schools, community-based organizations, primary care—and better designed solutions by involving families in the change process. Here are just some of the ways we’ve made an impact.

  • 5 percent decrease in national infant mortality rates
