A collaborative initiative of the Children’s Hospital, Greenville’s Hospital System (GHS) and the United Way of Greenville County (UWGC), the project incorporates multiple levels of stakeholders during the design stage using the BUILD framework of effective systems of delivery design. The panel will include representatives from the GHS, UWGC, University of South Carolina, and the BUILD model author to share with a wider audience the nuances, challenges, and benefits of using an established model to design a system of delivery for the children (0-5) in the state of South Carolina.

Addressing gaps in the science of child wellness initiatives, a historical comparative analysis will be presented. The analysis will test the BUILD Initiative model in terms of how a child wellness initiative is developed using a theory of change approach. The Build Initiative outlines five areas: context, components, connections, infrastructure, and scale. The analysis examines the beginnings and transformations of a child wellness initiative developed in a suburban county in the Southeast. Implications include evaluation themes pertaining to the development of unifying concepts, service components, and political and expert connections leading to infrastructure (political and social) required to start and maintain a child wellness initiative.
