ORGANIZATION'S MISSION
Form 990, Part III, Line 1
TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN REGIONALLY, NATIONALLY, AND INTERNATIONALLY; BE A LEADER IN CREATING INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO PEDIATRIC HEALTHCARE PROBLEMS; AND EXCEL IN CARE, ADVOCACY, RESEARCH, AND EDUCATION TO MEET UNIQUE NEEDS OF CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND THEIR FAMILIES. Program Services Part III, Line 4a Children's Mission Statement As the nation's children's hospital, the mission of Children's National Medical Center is to excel in Care, Advocacy, Research and Education. We accomplish this through: - Providing a quality health care experience for our patients and families. - Improving health outcomes for children regionally, nationally, and internationally. - Leading the creation of innovative solutions to pediatric health challenges. Children's Vision Statement As the nation's children's hospital, we will set the standard of excellence for the care of children. - We will serve as the voice for the most vulnerable among us: our children. - We will lead the quest to cure some of childhood's most devastating diseases. - We will prepare the nation's future leaders in child health. - We will be the children's hospital against which all others are measured. Children's Child-Centered Vision By incorporating feedback from our families, we have developed our first child-centered vision, which looks at the hospital experience through a child's eyes. Healing a child's body, mind and spirit takes more than medicine: it takes a team to fulfill a family's dream. - My hospital is a bright and happy place that feels like home. - My providers, my family, and I are a team, and everyone's job is important. - The way my hospital works is built around me. - My providers don't all look alike. - My hospital is my family's connection to everything I need for my health, whether they provide it or blaze trail it. About Children's National Children's National Medical Center is the premier provider of pediatric care in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area and is the only freestanding children's hospital between Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Norfolk, and Atlanta.

The loss is felt by family, friends and even the community. That's why Children's National Health System provides resources to families and communities when a child is dying or has died. Through our Family Services department, we offer education on helping children understand loss and ways to provide safe havens for grieving children and families coping with loss of many sorts.

As a part of the Adolescent Prevention Education Programs (APEP) at Children's National, the Teen Life Clubs (TLC) program helps youth improve decision making skills and ultimately reduces sexual risks. Geared towards adolescents between the ages of 11 to 14, the program curriculum is divided into four units; Self Awareness and Identity, Healthy Bodies, Violence Prevention and Money Matters. The clubs are based in community settings such as community clinics, community housing complexes or schools during the after school time frame. The Clubs meet Monday through Thursday and incorporates weekly health education sessions as well as academic support and monthly enrichment activities. In FY 2013, nearly 50 teens participated in the Teen Life Clubs offered at Faircliff Plaza, Hubbard Place and THEARC.
