Giving to the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research Center

In the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research Center (CHEAR), we are advancing research and education to improve the health and well-being of all children, adolescents, and families.

CHEAR is one of the largest groups of academic researchers focused on child health policy in the country. Our studies and findings inform medical and government leaders on the most effective approaches to enhancing health in our communities, offering insight on topics like:

• Reducing health care costs
• Increasing timely and dependable access to care
• Enhancing care through pediatric quality measures
• Providing immunization education and awareness
• Analyzing newborn screening programs
• Improving care for children with chronic conditions
• Training the next generation of high-quality child health researchers

CHEAR has a long history of partnering with state and federal agencies to advance child health by identifying, conducting, and presenting policy-relevant research. And we are well-positioned to lead national efforts to support and bring together child health services and policy researchers.

Your generosity can help us to continue to pursue the transformational studies and ideas that can change the lives of children and families everywhere.
