Children’s health is at the forefront of healthcare transformation, driven by efforts to personalize experiences, ensure consistent coverage, and combat misinformation.

In this episode of the Beat Executive Speaker Series, Leana Wen interviews Mark Del Monte, CEO of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), about the organization’s priorities and policies. Del Monte explains that AAP, with 67,000 members, prioritizes policies based on evidence and feedback from both its board and members, focusing on diverse issues like mental health, equity, and environmental health. He emphasizes the importance of Medicaid and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) as vital coverage for children, noting concerns over 5.5 million children losing coverage post-pandemic due to procedural issues. Del Monte advocates for merging Medicaid and CHIP into a national program to eliminate variability between states, providing consistent healthcare for children.
