Right-sized health systems for kids are equitable, accessible and designed holistically, spanning physical, social, and mental health needs. These systems are built on purposeful partnerships that enable integrated care pathways for kids and families with medical complexity, disability, chronic conditions, or neurodiversity. To be successful means expanding localized capacity and innovative models for children’s healthcare wherever they live. This panel facilitated by Emily Gruenwoldt, and featuring Lauren Ettin (Pediatric Oncology Group of Ontario), Jennifer Proulx (CHEO) and Jennifer Scarr (Child Health BC) will look at integrated systems from three different perspectives: disease specific, regional and provincial systems.
