Children's Advocacy

Children’s Advocacy is responsible for community outreach, partnership development, government relations, and injury prevention programs of the Greenville Hospital System Children’s Hospital.  This responsibility is met through these avenues:
  • The GHS Children’s Hospital Development Council, which is composed of community leaders serving as advocates to support fund raising, public awareness, injury prevention, grassroots government relations activities, and volunteer recruitment and employee recognition activities for Children’s Hospital.
  • Safe Kids Upstate, a coalition that focuses on preventing accidental injuries to children ages birth to 14 in Greenville, Pickens and Oconee Counties.  Safe Kids Upstate is headquartered in Greenville with a satellite office in Seneca, SC.
  • Partnerships with community agencies to benefit children’s health and well-being including hydration, fitness, prevention of childhood obesity and abuse.
