Captioned version of this video
The Catalyst Center is dedicated to improving health care coverage and financing for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). We are funded by the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, US Department of Health and Human Services. Our primary offices are located within the Health and Disability Working Group at the Boston University School of Public Health.
The Catalyst Center works with a broad range of partners to:
- Expand health insurance coverage of CYSHCN across the country;
- Close the gaps faced by underinsured families;
- Develop and disseminate innovative financing strategies at the community, state, and national levels;
- Enhance knowledge and collaboration among stakeholder groups around coverage and financing issues.
We create publications and products, answer technical assistance questions, research innovative state-based financing strategies, guide stakeholders to outside resources, and connect those interested in working together to address complex health care financing issues.
