What is the Children's Health Care Caucus?

Representative Kathy Castor and former Representative Dave Reichert founded the bipartisan Children’s Health Care Caucus in 2009 to educate Members of Congress and their staff on ideas to improve the quality of care for children and their access to care.

Today, Representative Kathy Castor and Representative John Joyce are leading the Caucus to build support for efforts to ensure America’s children have access to high-quality, affordable care and that their needs continue to be one of Congress’ top priorities. As we continue to debate important health care issues, children’s health must be at the forefront of any discussion. 

To join the Caucus, please contact Representative Castor’s office at 202-225-3376.
