Certainly what one is, is of far greater importance than what one appears to be.

Emily Post (1872–1960), American writer and etiquette expert

c.        Kings Daughters Fun Fact:  Legislative Advocacy

The welfare of children is a top priority at Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters. We take pride in being advocates for children and encourage others to participate in children’s advocacy, too. We know that health care research, education programs and local, state and federal policies and laws make a difference in children’s lives. And we understand that promoting a positive and healthy environment for our children will help create a better future for all.

There are many ways you can help children and support the mission of Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters including participating in grassroots initiatives, volunteering, letter-writing or just exercising your right to vote. This section provides education about advocacy and avenues of participation for you to help make a difference in the lives of many children.
