Advocacy Program
Advocacy has always been a core aspect of the work of Emergency Services at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. This includes serving the under-served, patient care education and prevention. An important aspect has been improving the immunization rate of our children. The Center for Disease Control Immunization Action Plan is in its eighth year.
Under the direction of Charles Schubert, MD, the program is a joint effort with the City of Cincinnati Health Department with the ongoing development of a regional database. The advocacy aspect in our program is a unique one in emergency medicine that is well recognized by our specialty around the country.
