Welcome to the Foster Health Lab
Improving care for children with medical complexity and disability through patient-family partnered research
Our Research Mission
The Foster Health Lab’s mission is to improve the health of children with medical complexity and disability, while reducing health-care related stress for their families.
The lab strives for a future where:
Every child with a chronic health condition, medical complexity, and/or disability has the full spectrum of care they need for vibrant life at home, school, and play.
Patient and family caregivers experience coherent, individualized, and effective health care delivery.
No patient’s family endures stress, poorer health, or financial hardship due to unmet care needs.
