Children's Health Fund

Children's Health Fund CHF leads a national network to bring comprehensive healthcare to under-resourced communities.

Children’s Health Fund uses a fleet of 50+ mobile medical clinics, telehealth, and 500+ schools, homeless shelters, and other community sites to provide comprehensive health and wrap-around services to children and families in some of the most hard-to-reach areas across the country, from urban to rural. We innovate, advocate, raise awareness and respond to public health crises by leading a national network of community-based health and social service providers. Together, we are working to advance the field of pediatric health and service delivery.

When children are nourished, they are better positioned to learn, grow, and thrive!

Children's Health Fund's Healthy and Ready to Learn (HRL) Program Director, Angie Vega, attended Governor Kathy Hochul's Hispanic Heritage Reception at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, celebrating the contributions of Hispanic communities across New York. Thank you, !

One important topic highlighted during the reception was New York's Universal Free School Meals initiative, which helps ensure students have access to breakfast and lunch at school, regardless of household income.

At a time when many families are navigating rising food costs and financial pressures, this initiative represents more than access to meals. It offers families peace of mind, knowing their children can count on nutritious food during the school day.

At Healthy and Ready to Learn, we recognize food insecurity as one of the eight health barriers to learning. Hunger can affect a child's health, concentration, and ability to participate fully in the classroom.

Every child deserves the opportunity to walk into school ready to learn, without hunger standing in the way. 🍎

At CHF, we know that oral health is good health - so don't forget to see your dentist regularly and SMILE for World Smile Day!

In 2025, Children's Health Fund reported:
🔵 41,220 dental visits to kids nationwide
🔵 32% of our programs include dental
🔵 23% of our mobile clinics are mobile dental offices.

In NYC, our Healthy and Ready to Learn () program includes providing schools with dental services and care because dental disease is a health barrier to learning.

So take care of those pearly whites, you'll smile happy that you did!

Special thanks to KCTV5's Miya Ingle for including CHF's President and CEO, Dr. Arturo Brito, in their coverage of the Mobile Healthcare Association’s National Conference!

It's incredible to see the mobile healthcare model, which Children's Health Fund has been using since we began in 1987, really taking off around the country. For nearly 40 years, we've understood how important it is to bring healthcare directly to the people who need it most, removing transportation as a barrier to good health.

Thank you, and !

It’s flu season! 🍂 💉 Protect your family and community by ensuring your little ones are up to date on their flu vaccine.

As Children’s Health Fund President and CEO Dr. Arturo Brito reminds us from his early days as a pediatrician:

"One simple, safe and cost-effective vaccine changed everything."

Vaccines save lives, prevent severe illness, and keep our kids healthy so they can thrive and succeed. Together, we can fight misinformation, protect our communities, and keep our children safe this season.
