Children's Health Fund
Children's Health Fund (CHF) is a non-profit organization that provides health care to children and families on mobile medical clinics throughout the United States. CHF was founded in 1987 by singer/songwriter Paul Simon and pediatrician/advocate Irwin Redlener, M.D.. The organization began with a single mobile medical unit funded by Simon and designed by Redlener’s wife, Karen. More than 20 years later, the organization has 23 programs with more than 50 mobile medical units and is the nation's leading provider of mobile-based health care for homeless and low-income children and their families. Karen Redlener remains with CHF, currently serving as the organization’s executive director.
CHF programs are committed to the full range of children’s health care from health education and preventative care to the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic diseases CHF programs provide or coordinate care that fosters oral and mental health, as well as specialty or hospital care.

Throughout the years, Simon has held charity concerts and benefit events supporting CHF and has traveled to Washington, D.C. to speak to elected officials on behalf of CHF.
