Community Health Education Events & Resources (C.H.E.E.R.)

Children’s National Hospital aims to help children and families grow up stronger by leading and supporting activities that engage the community around common health issues and concerns.

Through community outreach, wellness workshops, community townhalls and place-based health screenings, C.H.E.E.R. acts as an umbrella program that brings health education and resources directly to the children and families we serve.
