The Montgomery County CAB has worked with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Study Center since 2007. The CAB ensures that community voices are represented in the development and implementation of the National Children’s Study in Montgomery County.
In Montgomery County CAB members provide invaluable knowledge about the people, culture, and customs of the county. They also provide suggestions and ideas that will help to make the National Children’s Study a success.
