CARE COORDINATION
Care Coordination is a patient and family-centered collaborative process that links children and families to services and resources in a coordinated manner to maximize the potential of children and provide them optimal health care.
HEALTH DISPARITIES
Children on Medicaid experience significantly poorer health outcomes than commercially insured children. Most of those outcomes can be improved by access to a good medical home and the preventive care, screening and early intervention provided at well child visits.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
Children in low income families are at higher risk for behavioral health issues due to a variety of factors including but not limited to: poverty, socioeconomic, pregnancy related depression in the mother, family stress, and delays in identifying and treating behavioral health issues.
Mission
To support primary care medical homes to improve health outcomes for children and advance health equity.
