Members support child health through advocacy efforts
The AAP has been involved for decades in advocacy efforts to address several child health issues including gun violence, immunizations, injury prevention, Medicaid coverage, and more. From engaging pediatrician members to share videos about why Medicaid matters to their patients to inundating Capitol Hill with advocacy outreach from pediatricians, the AAP has made a difference for children at the federal and state level. Since children don’t have a voice, the AAP is there to speak for their best interests.
