Together We Can
Help Prevent
The Shortages.
Join an unprecedented coalition of best-in-class children’s hospitals that aims to ensure the reliable and affordable supply of high-quality essential medicines and help prevent pediatric drug shortages.
America’s Children Deserve Better.
The care of America’s children is unnecessarily impacted by shortages of essential medicines that may result in compromised patient care, clinician frustration, and increased hospital pharmacy costs and inefficiencies.
As a solution, the Children’s Hospital Coalition (CHC) brings together some of the top children’s hospitals across the nation, in collaboration with Phlow®, to provide certainty in availability, quality, access, and affordability for key medicines necessary to sustain life and conquer disease and to address the nation’s broken essential medicines supply chain.

Together, with Phlow® and other top children’s hospitals nationwide, I am confident that we can create a more reliable supply of high-quality essential medicines to children’s hospitals across the country. ”
