Texas Children's Hospital: Reclaim Recess
The Center for Child Health Policy and Advocacy at Texas Children’s Hospital, a collaboration between the Baylor College of Medicine Department of Pediatrics and Texas Children’s Hospital, delivers an innovative, multi-disciplinary, and solutionsoriented approach to child health in a vastly evolving health care system and market place. The Center for Child Health Policy and Advocacy is focused on serving as a catalyst to impact legislative and regulatory action on behalf of vulnerable children at local, state, and national levels. This policy brief is written to address the cognitive and physical health benefits of recess and the consequences of state recess policies on children.
