What does CHRC mean in HEALTHCARE

The Child Health Research Center (CHRC) is a comprehensive pediatric research center dedicated to advancing the health of children and adolescents. We focus on conditions that contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in young people, especially in underserved communities. Our research spans basic science, clinical and public health contexts to improve prevention and treatment strategies for childhood illness.

The CHRC offers a wide range of services to help with the diagnosis, management, and treatment of childhood illnesses. These include laboratory tests, clinical assessments, imaging studies, psychosocial assessments, physical therapy services, nutrition counseling and interventions, family support resources, genetic counseling services, mental health resources, community based programs such as school-based intervention programs and home visits for children at high risk of disease or disability.

There are several ways you can get involved with the Child Health Research Center. You can join our volunteer team or apply for internships or fellowships. You can also participate in fundraising efforts by making donations or attending events that benefit our work. Finally, you can spread awareness by sharing information about the research we do and how it helps improve children’s health.
