Ep. 116: Reimagining Children's Health: Insights on Whole Child Health (Part 1 of 2)

Children’s health and well-being are affected by their surroundings – the schools they attend, the places they play, the food they eat, and their relationships with the adults around them. In 2021, Nemours Children’s Health founded the Whole Child Health Alliance to help advance the concept of “whole child health." Learn how this group of children’s hospitals, health insurance companies, think tanks, advocacy organizations, and others work together to address the multi-faceted needs of kids through health care delivery and financing approaches that keep the “whole child” in mind.Guests:Daniella Gratale, MA, Associate Vice President, Federal Affairs, Nemours Children's HealthJoshua Traylor, MPH, Executive Director, Center for Health and Research Transformation Jim Perrin, MD, Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics, MassGeneral Hospital and Harvard Medical SchoolAdvancing the Key Elements of Whole Child Health: State Case Studies and Policy Recommendations (PDF)Host/Producer: Carol VassarViews expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views of the host or management.  Subscribe, review or let your voice be heard at NemoursWellBeyond.org.
