The Children’s Hospital Association of Texas (CHAT) is a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing children’s health through policy advocacy. It represents seven children’s hospitals in Texas.
These hospitals serve 97% of Texas counties and are top-ranked nationally, attracting families from across the U.S. who are seeking care for children with serious conditions.
The Monument Group has played a crucial role in enhancing CHAT’s advocacy efforts to ensure that children in Texas do not lose access to the comprehensive, lifesaving care that freestanding children’s hospitals provide. Our team provides strategic communications counsel focused on key policy areas for children’s hospitals, including mental health, Medicaid rates, access to care and the pediatric workforce. The policy-informed communication strategy is closely coordinated with CHAT’s lobby team and includes the development of compelling fact sheets, a digital environment, media engagement, legislative communications, thought leadership and external communications initiatives, such as a monthly newsletter and social media.
