Learning That Moves Evidence Into Action
SPARK Learning sessions are designed to feature leading voices from across the child health and healthcare ecosystems, share and explore evidence and innovations, identify implications for system improvement and transformation, and thereby inform and improve children’s healthcare systems and outcomes of care.

- Health system leaders and decision-makers
- Clinicians and care providers
