About

The MGH for Children Advocacy Group consists of a group of pediatric residents interested in child advocacy. Many of us are involved in a variety of advocacy projects, including child access to primary care, obesity (Let’s move campaign), autism care, and others. Our main project over the last 6 years has been to organize RFDASH: the Residents and Fellows Day at the State House. We dedicate this day to the children of Massachusetts, get all of our pediatric colleagues from across the state together, and organize a day of lobbying for 3-4 bills related to children and their health. In 2012, for the first time, we will have Massachusett’s medical students join us and help us lobby our senators on behalf of our patients!

Our next RFDASH date is coming up very soon: MAY 21st 2012 at the Massachusetts State House !!!

– more information to follow soon, stay tuned! –
