About This Event

Children’s hospitals bring health care to those who need it through mobile health initiatives. Learn from a newly established program at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago about where to start and key issues to address. From the well-established program at St. Louis Children's Hospital, learn about the impact of a long-term investment, how to gain support from within, and how to bring wraparound services. Both programs have found ways to engage and work with the community. Each panelist will share what they have learned about getting started, program evaluation, sustainability, and impact. A panel format will allow for a moderated discussion.

Learning Objectives

  • Determine key concepts in starting a new mobile health program.
  • Identify ways to enhance sustainability for a mobile health program.
  • Discuss lessons learned.
