Children’s hospitals continue to benefit from strong public trust. But how can we turn trust into action?

Join the Children’s Hospital Association and Jarrard Inc. as we share survey findings and discuss what builds trust, what motivates people to advocate for and contribute to children’s hospitals, and how perceptions differ across audiences.

During this session, we’ll examine:

  • How quality and expertise, access and affordability, and compassionate care build trust
  • Why community impact helps turn trust into action
  • Where emerging issues like AI create skepticism and opportunity

Hospital leaders will bring the findings into practice, discussing what they mean for communication with families, communities, and other stakeholders.
