Advocating for Children
Advocacy is a vital part of advancing pediatric neurosurgery and improving the lives of children with neurological conditions. Through collaboration with national organizations, policymakers, healthcare leaders, and patient advocacy groups, the AANS/CNS Section on Pediatric Neurosurgery works to promote policies, research initiatives, patient safety efforts, and access to high-quality neurosurgical care.
Our advocacy efforts focus on issues that impact children, families, healthcare providers, and the future of pediatric neurosurgery. We encourage members to stay informed, participate in advocacy initiatives, and help amplify the voice of our specialty on matters affecting pediatric neurological health.
