Children’s Hospital Association Statement on Executive Order

Children's Hospital Association (CHA) is reviewing an Executive Order that could impact access to health care for children.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Children's Hospital Association (CHA) is reviewing an Executive Order that outlines numerous changes that could impact access to health care for children.

Children’s hospitals prioritize the physical and mental health, safety and well-being of children, adolescents, and young adults.

Diagnostic and therapeutic care is guided by specialty-trained physicians and providers, each patient’s individual health needs, and appropriate family consent.

High quality care — informing the best possible health outcomes — requires patients, families, and care teams working together to make medical decisions to meet the unique needs of each child, adolescent, and young adult.
