The Future of Care for Children with Medical Complexity Virtual Café #3: Meaningful Policy Opportunities That Matter to Families

This virtual café focused on the current policy landscape for children with medical complexity. Participants discussed policy opportunities for both small and big changes at the local, state, and national levels.

This café was the third in a six-part series entitled, The Future of Care for Children with Medical Complexity Virtual Café Series. The series, led by the Center for Innovation in Social Work and Health at the Boston University School of Social Work, offers short presentations by nationally recognized experts in the care of CMC, including family partners. Participants have the opportunity to connect with peers and learn about topics that matter most to children with medical complexity and their families. The series is funded through a grant from the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health.
