Health Care Program For Children with Special Needs
Community Systems

Working to develop and strengthen community based service systems so families and children with special health care needs can use them easily.


Current activities include:
  • Develop Operational planning and collaboration with community partners for easy to use services
  • Champion a Medical Home Approach for Children with Special Health Care Needs with community providers, families and partners
  • Participate on coalitions, community action groups and existing medical home efforts to evaluate effectiveness, barriers and solutions for community health care systems
  • Define community partner roles in early identification, referral and follow up systems so services are easy to use
  • Engage family members and/or youth on community task forces and work groups

How Can HCP help?

The Health Care Program for Children with Special Needs (HCP) seeks to ensure statewide access to integrated, family-centered, culturally competent, community-based programs and services.  To this end, local HCP offices work closely with community residents, providers, agencies and family leaders.
