Narrative

Care Coordinations assist families in accessing care and services and provide consultation to parents, educators, and medical and social service providers with a focus on children and youth with complex medical conditions. Services include assessment, coordination, education, and referral. Care Coordinators can help a family coordinate medical, social and educational systems; access referral information about specific programs and services; become a more effective advocate for their child; identify community resources; understand the full range of available public benefits; and plan for transition. Care Coordinators are located in selected pediatric primary care settings and in all regional DPH offices.
