"Our vision is to see the children to a place where they may elevate themselves beyond survival, where they will flourish and have a chance for lives with dignity and purpose" —Nancy Robertson, Founder & CEO25 YEARS ON THE FRONTLINESince 1997, the Grace Children's Foundation (GCF) has been connecting children in need to pro bono and subsidized medical care and essential nonclinical resources through its case-by-case model. This individual based work lays bare the critical problem that there are millions of children globally who have little or no access to medical resources or continuous care. In order to address this inequity, GCF has recently partnered with a team of innovators at Microsoft to evolve and scale up the existing model into the Children's Resource Exchange (CRE)—an emerging state of the art pediatric healthcare service that will help save the lives of children worldwide. The CRE's unique integration of human contentiousness with technology will accelerate access to vital healthcare resources through a digital platform, leveraging its network of care, expertise and funding—scaling the solution to the magnitude of the problem.CHILDREN'S RESOURCE EXCHANGE—IN ACTIONNow more than ever, there is an urgent need for reliable information and systematic collaboration. While digital platforms are accomplishing things that were unimaginable 20 years ago, it is clear that these innovations have not yet been put to their best use...until now. GCF and its partners are collaborating to modernize the process of coordinating care between medical professionals and others who have the capacity to help children in the US and globally.The CRE digital service will facilitate the coordination of resources for children
