6 Reasons to Attend the Together for Kids Conference

The Children’s Hospital Association’s Together for Kids Pediatric Quality Conference brings leaders together to share proven strategies, exchange insights, and drive progress across children’s health care. 

For decades, CHA has united children’s hospitals to amplify your voices, celebrate impact, and foster shared growth. Members from across the country will gather March 23-25 in Arlington, Texas, to learn how peer hospitals are advancing behavioral health, population and community health, clinical improvement, analytics, and health equity. 

You’ll leave Together for Kids with expanded knowledge and actionable ideas to improve quality at your organization right away. Here are six reasons you should make the trip:  

1. Grow your network. 

At the conference, pediatric teams unite to transform care. Conversations in hallways, chats over coffee, and intentional networking spark new collaborations and friendships. 

A 2025 attendee said, “I really appreciated the sessions and networking. It all made the event worth attending.” 

2. Learn actionable strategies from 24 education sessions. 

Education sessions offer practical approaches and innovative solutions that improve quality, equity, and outcomes for every child.
