Children's Health Fund (CHF) is a nonprofit 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. The organization began with a single mobile medical unit funded by Simon and designed by Redlener's wife, Karen.[1] More than 20 years later, the organization has 23 programs with more than 50 mobile medical units[2] and is the nation's leading provider of mobile-based health care for homeless and low-income children and their families.[3] Karen Redlener remains with CHF, currently serving as the organization's executive director.[4]

CHF programs are committed to the full range of children's health care from health education and preventative care[5] to the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic diseases.[6] CHF programs provide or coordinate care that fosters oral and mental health, as well as specialty or hospital care.[7]
