About us
AAP California is comprised of AAP California Chapters 1, 3 and 4 and represents more than 3,000 primary care and subspecialty pediatricians across California. We’re committed to the attainment of optimal physical, mental, and social health and well-being for all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults living in California.
AAP CA Chapters advocate together at the state level on hundreds of bills each year, as well as on statewide ballot measures and in court cases on behalf of children and pediatricians.
