ADVOCAT E S F OR CHI L DRE N & YOUT H ▪ Is an independent, state-wide, child advocacy organization seeking to create a better life for each of Maryland’s children through policy, practice, and advocacy. ▪ We work across four issue areas: Education, child welfare, juvenile justice and health. In addition, all our work looks through a racial equity and economic sustainability lens. Our health priorities include: ▪ Evaluating children and families’ access to health coverage under the State’s new eligibility and enrollment system. ▪ Monitoring network adequacy for primary and pediatric specialty services including pediatric dental care. ▪ Monitoring enrollment and access to health services for former foster youth who are now eligible for Medicaid to age 26. ▪ Identifying appropriate integrative care models, such as health homes, to improve the health status of vulnerable children and youth. ▪ Collaborating across silos to address social determinants of public health.
