Children’s Healthcare Communications & Engagement
Helping Pediatric Providers Shape Their Impact
Pediatricians often remind parents that kids aren’t just little adults when it comes to their health care.
In a similar way, pediatric hospitals and healthcare aren’t just smaller versions of bigger systems. Children’s healthcare has its own model of care. Its own mission and culture. Its own unique set of challenges and opportunities.
Jarrard has built a specialized set of resources and insights specific to the needs of children’s hospitals – whether that’s preserving Medicaid funding, activating donor and community support or preparing for a new partnership.
Our children’s clients get all of the expertise and savvy of one of the nation’s top 10 healthcare communications firms – with a dedicated focus on the nuance and magic of “children’s”
Latest Survey
Our latest national survey shows 89% of Americans trust children’s hospitals to provide quality care – far above the 65% for hospitals overall. We believe in the power of this moment for children’s healthcare leaders to lean into the public’s goodwill.
