How can Care Coordination help your family?

An HCP public health nurse will work with you and your primary care doctor to develop a plan to care for your child.

HCP care coordinator will partner with you to:

• Establish a "medical/dental home," providing resources, coordination and organization of medical/dental and community services.
• Provide you with information to a network of community services.
• Provide community resources that offer newborn screening for hearing, early childhood screening for vision, child development evaluations and evaluations for other disorders.
• Share information about local doctors, also known as your primary care provider - PCP.
• Receive services that are respectful of your culture.
• Coordinate all professionals working with your child.
• Introduce you to other parents/families that are in the same situation.
• Explore ways to pay for specialty health care for your child.
• Hold specialty care clinics in rural and under-served areas of the state.
