"Now is the time that we can keep the promise of affordable, accessible health care for every child in the United States," said Dr. McInerny. "Challenges lie ahead, but with the continued dedication and hard work of AAP members and staff, we will confront these challenges head on, ensuring that children receive the highest quality care in a medical home. By working together, we can help future generations create a healthy and productive society."
