"Children's Health Fund is thrilled to have Julianne help us achieve our goal – a doctor for every child," said CHF Advisory Council Chair Jane Pauley. "Julianne is well respected nationally not only for her artistic talent, but also for her dedication to improving the lives of children."

Last April, Moore supported CHF and Clorox in their Connect Kids to Care program to raise awareness of the need for children's access to regular check-ups and timely care when sick.

"I understand how important it is for children to receive comprehensive, high-quality health care so that they can reach their full potential," Moore said. "I look forward to working with Children's Health Fund in promoting programs and policies that help achieve that goal."

Members of CHF's Advisory Council help build the resources of the organization in order to continue and enhance its ongoing programs and national advocacy campaigns.
