Kids' Advisory Board

The purpose of the Kids' Advisory Board is to give a voice to kids who are treated here.

The Kids' Advisory Board (KAB) gives a voice to children treated at the hospital. Members also share with the hospital  what is important to children, teens and siblings during healthcare experiences. It is similar to a student council, but for the hospital. Currently, 10 KAB members between 11 and 17 have had significant experiences at Children's Memorial.

• The mission of the Kids' Advisory Board is to recommend change that positively affects patient care at Children's Memorial. This is accomplished by providing kids an opportunity to voice their opinions, and help make the hospital more "kid-friendly."
• The board provides the hospital with feedback, suggestions and ideas about topics that are relevant to the hospital and patient care.
• The KAB contributes to making the hospital an even better place for kids.
• KAB members feel extremely empowered because their suggestions and ideas have a real impact on the care and services that Children's Memorial provides.
