About This Event

Join Children's Hospital Association (CHA) and Manatt Health for a webinar reviewing a proposed pediatric pathway for federal safety net hospital designations. Leaders from CHA and Manatt provide an update on the "Children’s Hospitals Pathway Project," which provides a response to recently proposed safety net hospital designations tied to future funding opportunities.

This session covers the safety net hospital designation landscape, why children’s hospitals should be considered safety net providers, and criteria for inclusion in the proposed pediatric provider pathway.

Following the webinar, children’s hospitals are asked to evaluate what the proposed pathway would mean for their organization to help inform CHA's work moving forward.
