Children's Defense Fund - Ohio is committed to ensuring improved health for our children.  We advocate for access to appropriate health care for all children in Ohio by taking the lead for the statewide Health Disparities Collaborative.  The Collaborative is a catalyst for building successful community partnerships to focus on systems changes and overall improvements in the provision of health care in the community.  These partnerships will create a sustained community where racial and ethnic minorities and other undeserved populations have equal opportunities to live long, healthy and productive lives.
