The Child Health and Development Institute (CHDI) improves the health and well-being of children and families.
Our goal is to build stronger, more effective, and more equitable health and behavioral health systems that result in better outcomes for children and families.
We accomplish this through research, evaluation, training and technical assistance, and demonstration projects that inform system change.
Together with our partners, CHDI:
CHDI works in close partnership with the state’s leading medical schools, children’s hospitals, policymakers, state agencies, child-serving organizations and advocates to achieve our goals.
