Alliance of Children's Hospitals

The Children's Hospital Association (CHA) is the leading national organization representing more than 220 children's hospitals across the United States. Formed in 2011 through the merger of the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI), the National Association of Children's Hospitals (NACH), and the Child Health Corporation of America (CHCA), CHA serves as a unified voice for pediatric healthcare. The organization focuses on federal advocacy, clinical quality improvement, and advanced data analytics to improve health outcomes for children. A core offering is the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS), a comprehensive administrative database used by hospitals and researchers for clinical and financial benchmarking and health services research.
