Strategic Priorities

The Michigan Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics develops a list of strategic priorities annually to focus the policy, program, and advocacy work of the Chapter and its committees. These priorities are aligned with the national policies and positions of the American Academy of Pediatrics (www.aap.org).
