Our mission: To enhance members’ ability to deliver the highest quality patient care to the children they serve; to improve the health of the children in our communities; and to increase the professional satisfaction and operational effectiveness of our members as independent practices.
All WAFC members are independent pediatric practices who “speak the same language” and share variations of the same goals. WAFC is the collective voice that advocates knowledgeably and forcefully on members’ behalf.
We help members improve patient care by sponsoring care initiatives, developing formularies and more.
We work with office managers, billers, insurers, care managers and providers to enhance business processes.
We collaborate with community resources to identify needs, conduct research, expand services and improve health.
Each WAFC practice is a member with an equal vote in shaping the focus and direction of the organization. Members stay informed and involved through meetings and committees.
WAFC is based in West Michigan and serves pediatric practices throughout the state.
Ongoing operational costs are supported by insurers.
We leverage member unity to approach insurers, subspecialists and ancillary care providers from a position of strength.
We Are For Children believes pediatricians have a key role to play in the ongoing transformation of the healthcare system.
WAFC currently includes nine practice groups encompassing 52 physicians.
WAFC members adopt the Patient-Centered Medical Home model and implement Electronic Medical Records.
WAFC practices boast some of the highest quality scores in their region, year after year.
