Mission Statement
Established in 1997, the Grace Children’s Foundation (GCF) is a New York City based 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in need through the Children’s Resource Exchange (CRE) model with a focus on pediatric healthcare – medical, surgical and rehabilitative care and groundbreaking research, treatments and cures.
About This Cause
The Grace Children’s Foundation (GCF) has been connecting children in need to pro bono and subsidized medical care and essential nonclinical resources through its case-by-case model since 1997. Confronting the critical problem for millions of children globally who have little or no access to medical resources or continuous care, GCF has recently partnered with a team of innovators at Microsoft to evolve the existing model into the Children’s Resource Exchange (CRE)—a state of the art pediatric healthcare service that will help save the lives of children worldwide. Combining human conscientiousness with technology, the CRE will accelerate access of vital healthcare resources through a digital platform, leveraging its network of care, expertise and funding—scaling the solution to the magnitude of the problem. Now more than ever, the disconnection between people and lifesaving resources and the urgent need for reliable information and systematic collaboration is front and center. Supporting those on the frontlines of medicine, GCF and its partners in healing are collaborating to further develop the Children’s Resource Exchange (CRE) platform, modernizing the process of connecting children in the United States and globally with people and organizations ready to help. The CRE digital platform will expedite the coordination of resources for children suffering from debilitating but treatable diseases, medical conditions, traumatic injuries and congenital birth anomalies and match them with pediatric subspecialties and other social determinants of health essential for their wellbeing. Partnering with WebMD/Medscape and Medscape Pediatrics, GCF is initiating a call to action to enrich the population of medical professionals in the CRE through their online network of 5 million medical clinicians and more than 50,000 active pediatricians worldwide. The CRE platform will coordinate with healthcare providers, hospitals, mission trips, clinical trials, cutting-edge treatments, non profit/ NGO resources, academic institutions and the private sector. As primary users, medical clinicians will have accelerated access to relevant information relating to their patient's needs, enabling trusted coordination with other physicians/providers on the platform. In time, as case information increases, automated processes will be able to analyze the needs of the children, aiding physicians in diagnostics and treatments, recommending the most appropriate resources for their care, leading to improved outcomes. The CRE will be the go-to resource for pediatric healthcare —dedicated to the children who wait.
