The American Academy of Pediatrics, CA Chapter 3 (AAP-CA3), is the organizing agency for a coordinated Reach Out and Read effort in San Diego and Imperial Counties. The RORSD Collaborative is working to help expand and sustain Reach out and Read in San Diego by recruiting new sites, providing support with progress reports and book inventory, sending out trainers for ROR training of new staff and physicians and assisting with and coordinating fundraising for book money. Almost any pediatrician can have their office or clinic become a Reach Out and Read site. Some of our offices have been implementing ROR for over 10 years.

We are fortunate to have many community members as part of our ROR San Diego Collaborative effort, including the San Diego County Library (San Diego County Libraries Partnership), the County of San Diego- Maternal, Child and Family Health Services, the Community Clinic Network, CPCMG Medical Group, Sharp Rees Stealy, the Navy Medical Center, The Council on Literacy and other groups. As a collaborative, we will work together to build and support ROR and pediatric literacy in San Diego.

RORSD is continuing to expand in San Diego, reaching more children, with 40 active sites and several more applications in progress.
