WE'RE BUILDING A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND SUPPORT NETWORK WITH AND FOR FAMILIES OF CHILDREN THAT HAVE CHRONIC ILLNESS OR DISABILITY.

OUR CORE BELIEFS

Background

We are more than a diagnosis.

A child's diagnosis is merely part of a family's journey. The path will look different for each family — and even each family member — but it's important to remember that you are not alone.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to serve as a central community resource for families as they navigate the medical, human service, educational and local agencies that serve children with chronic illness or disability.

Build Local Networks

Building Healthier America connects families that are navigating chronic illness or disability of a child — to services and to each other.

We provide a centralized and searchable information base of resources and a growing network of families who are walking a similar path, all at no cost to our members.

Inclusive, Not Exclusive

Our community-centric framework allows us to serve as many families as possible; our vision is that no family is ever turned away.

While we provide localized resources based on funding, our digital-first approach ensures that families all over the country are able to find connection.

Secure Connection

We partner with Handzin, a secure community platform, to create a hub of connection for our families.

In the cases of our local chapters, we have a community navigator who aggregates resources and serves as a bridge between the various social service, education, and health organizations.
