Shaping Tomorrow's Leaders, Serving Today's Children
This website has been designed as a resource for the Legacy in Action Capital Campaign Task Force
For 65 years, the Academic Pediatric Association has shaped academic pediatric professionals’ careers and advanced the health of children nationwide. As research increasingly shows, the foundations of life expectancy, chronic disease, and overall well-being are formed early in life. The Legacy in Action Capital Campaign ensures this impact continues. The campaign will strengthen APA’s role as the professional home for academic pediatric professionals who educate future leaders, generate transformative research, improve healthcare delivery systems, and advocate for policies that protect child health and promote health, not just for today’s children, but for generations to come. Together, we are investing in a healthier future for children and the adults they will become.
