Ways You Can Help – Advocacy

Legislative Advocacy

Capital Region Caucus

Made up of area legislators, local government officials and business leaders, the Caucus meets quarterly to discuss regional issues and is organized by the Chamber of Commerce. Children's Hospital hosts this group on an annual basis and is able to address the Caucus on issues of importance to the hospital.

Capitol Hill Advocacy Days

Three times a year Children's Hospital participates in the National Association of Children's Hospitals (NACH) Advocacy Days on Capitol Hill, providing an opportunity for representatives from Children's Hospital to meet with legislators or their staff members to share information about children's health issues.

Legislative Breakfast

Each January Children's Hospital hosts a Legislative Breakfast at the General Assembly building as a way to introduce members of the General Assembly and their staff to Children's Hospital's services and programs.

Letters to Legislators

Monthly letters are sent to members of the General Assembly as well as regional city and county government officials in the Richmond area sharing information on the services and programs at Children's Hospital. We also sometimes activate letter writing campaigns to Federal and state officials on specific topics. To be part of this join our Advocacy network by sending you name, address and e-mail to .
