In 2024, The Children’s Partnership built progress, connection and power in line with our strategic plan, all while navigating the rough waters of a very difficult budget year. We had budget and policy wins, expanded our leadership in new advocacy areas, launched a first-of-its-kind report on Medi-Cal call wait times, and more.

By harnessing the power of partnership, we aim to achieve health equity for all children in California, this year and always.

In 2021, The Children’s Partnership launched a three-year strategic plan to harness the power of partnership to achieve child health equity throughout California. This year, we’re evaluating our progress towards achieving the three major outcomes in our plan.

Our 2022 highlights reflect our commitment to a Whole Child approach to child health equity – the recognition that children’s health is affected not just by what happens in a doctor’s office, but the neighborhood in which they are raised, whether they have a roof over their heads, the food they eat, and the well-being of their caregivers.

In 2021, California families faced the fight against both the continued COVID-19 pandemic and the exacerbated inequities surrounding it. In response, The Children’s Partnership (TCP) doubled down on our commitment that all California children of every race, ethnicity and place of birth have the resources and opportunities they need to reach their full potential.

As this challenging year comes to a close, TCP reflects on progress made in our fight for children. This year saw deepening inequities for children and families in California and across the country. The COVID-19 pandemic, the economy, and the reckoning with racial injustice have all had profound impacts to California’s already marginalized children. Our 2020 Highlights share how we met the challenges of this year to continue supporting the health and wellbeing of children.

The Children’s Partnership holds itself to definable outcomes that lead to improvements in the lives of children and families. These impacts include definition of an agenda for children on emerging issue areas where no such agenda exists, significant changes in federal and state policy to improve health and educational opportunities, and direct health and educational benefits for children and families in California communities.
