Boston Children's Hospital focuses on pediatric workforce education, and public health issues impacting children. In the current Congress, we have advocated for funding through the appropriations process for the Children's Hospital Graduate Medical Education program (CHGME). We have also provided information on the impact of opioid abuse on adolescents and treatment approaches addressing these concerns. We have also discussed the escalating mental and behavioral health challenges among youth and policy solutions in the areas of the pediatric mental health delivery system, workforce and infrastructure. We continue to advocate along these priorities through the Strengthen Kids Mental Health Now Act (H.R. 7236) and Health Care Capacity for Pediatric Mental Health Act (S.4472). Advocacy pertaining to youth and adolescent mental and behavioral health issues has included development of legislation proposals and engagement with Senate Finance and Senate HELP processes including hearings.

16. Specific lobbying issues
Boston Children's Hospital advocates for medical research funding generally (eg NIH) and to assure an emphasis on pediatric research issues and concerns. In the current Congress, we have sought increases in the overall NIH appropriation level, and worked to assure better coordination across NIH institutes for pediatric initiatives. We have also focused on Department of Defense (DoD) support for medical research. We have focused on the need to provide additional support for early career pediatric researchers as exemplified in the Pediatricians Accelerate Childhood Therapies (PACT) Act (S. 1357 and H.R. 3773); inclusion of children within the All of Us research program and the 21st Century Cures 2.0. Our informatics research program has provided information on disease surveillance, health IT and interoperability concerns to Congressional leaders.

Boston Children's Hospital focuses on child health access especially with respect to the Medicaid and CHIP programs. In the current Congress, we have sought to insure that children's' access to care through the Medicaid and CHIP programs is adequately funded. We have advocated for policies that enable complex pediatric patients to travel across state lines through the Accelerating Kids Access to Care Act (S. 1544 and H.R. 3089) and have been actively involved in efforts to simplify screening and enrollment for out of state providers treating these children. We also continue to advocate for increased payment rates for pediatric mental health services covered by Medicaid through the above mentioned, Strengthen Kids Mental Health Now Act (H.R. 7236) and the Investing in Kids Mental Health Now Act (S. 4747)
