Events will include integrative care seminars on climate change, environmental justice, and access to integrative care, alongside product selection sessions to support safe, informed clinical practice. The quarterly coalition meetings could build towards a dedicated day-long advocacy retreat, empowering the coaliition to drive impactful initiatives in health equity and integrative pediatrics.
