Children’s hospitals are essential partners in supporting the health and resilience of military families. They provide specialized physical and behavioral health care to thousands of military-connected children—including those whose parents are veterans, on active duty, or serving in the reserve or National Guard.
By ensuring access to advanced pediatric care, children’s hospitals help stabilize families, strengthen communities, and support military readiness. They also play a critical role in training military physicians and pediatric specialists, equipping service members with the expertise needed to care for children both at home and in deployed families.
The families who receive care at children’s hospitals are vital not only to today’s force, but they are also raising the next generation of service members.
