If you have read the previous posts in the blog it should be crystal clear why I advocate on behalf of Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. Le Bonheur clearly was the catalyst in saving my son's life! Not once, but TWICE.
Currently, I serve as the Chair of Public Policy & Advocacy Committee for Le Bonheur's Family Partners Council. The council is comprised of over 15 families who regularly enteract with Le Bonheur administration and physicians to help the hospital remain focused on important issues, sometimes challenging Le Bonheur out of its comfort zones and encouraging the hospital to consider new and more collaborative ways of providing care. The Pulic Policy & Advocacy Committee acts as the liaison between Le Bonheur's Public Policy and Advocacy Board and Le Bonheur families and to engage those families in representing the public policy issues and initiatives to government officials and the community.
Every child deserves the very best health care and access to it! Follow us on our journey, July 25-26, 2011 to Washington, D.C. We are participating in the National Association of Children's Hospital's "2011 Family Advocacy Days." This event allows us the opportunity to go to Capitol Hill and share our experiences with Congress. This event truely gives kids and families a voice!
You are invited to follow us on this journey!
