Children don't choose to be in poverty.
It is, in this case, their parents or their guardians.
So I think we've also realized that it's a multi-generational approach, not only focused on the child.
So I think one of the other things that's unique when it comes to children and their health and where these health drivers or social determinants come into play is certainly prenatally, we hope, and maybe in the first year, we as healthcare provider have the opportunity to interact with some regularity with the mom, with the child, but as they get older,
We really don't have the chance to interact with them and see them quite as much.
So I think one of the things we are really working hard on is our partnership with the public schools because this is where children are in either daycare and preschool settings or as they get into school.
And so we are
increasingly working in our case with Cincinnati Public Schools and ultimately others in our community on how can we help the school system, the teachers bring in some of the same quality improvement methodologies and mindsets that we've been using to improve quality, improve safety, and so forth in the healthcare setting into these school settings.
And it's empowering teachers.
It's allowing us to connect with these kids in a different way.
And we're actually already seeing some evidence of improved third grade reading scores
in places where that training has happened.
We're providing school-based clinics.
Whether it's well visits, whether it's catching things early, I think is also palpable.
We know the tremendous burden of mental and behavioral health issues affecting society, certainly children and adolescents, but we know the earlier
we can intervene, educate, give parents coping skills, children coping and behavioral skills, the better.
So we have started to embed psychologists into both primary care settings and in school settings.
And we think these are some of the differences that we can make earlier for children.
I can't speak for all health systems.
I can say what we believe at Cincinnati Children's, what we see in our community is that partnerships are essential.
