During Family Advocacy Day, we encourage all participants and their respective hospitals to engage on social media. This year’s theme, “Team CHA” captures the essence of 20 years of Family Advocacy Day, and our shared journey towards improving pediatric care. Coming together as Team CHA on Capitol Hill and online amplifies our voices, strengthens our mission, and underscores our commitment to supporting pediatric patients and their families.
