2023 State of Children's Health in PA

Hispanic White children decreased, while children in every other category increased, most notably for Hispanic children and Non-Hispanic Black children. It represents movement in the right direction, but enrollment for Hispanic

children and Non-Hispanic Black children remain far below population rates. Note: CHIP data disaggregated by race and ethnicity was not available for September 2023.
