Since 1928, when U.S. President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed one day each year national Child Health Day, people across America have worked together to improve childhood health. The day has been observed on the first Monday in October since 1960.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) / National Center for Medical Home Implementation is celebrating the day by highlighting "medical home," since it is such an important part of improving the health for all children and youth. Medical home is defined as a model of delivering primary care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, compassionate and culturally effective.
