National Center for Medical Home Implementation
http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded a 5-year cooperative agreement grant from the federal Maternal and Child Health Bureau as part of the Health Resources and Services Administration' s New Freedom Initiative, a comprehensive plan to achieve appropriate community based service systems for children and youth with special health care needs and their families.
Housed in the AAP Division of Children with Special Needs, the new National Center for Medical Home Implementation will support and promote medical home implementation in order to ensure that all children and youth, including those with special health care needs, have the services and support necessary for full community inclusion. The Center aims to accomplish this by supporting effective implementation of medical home among pediatric health care providers, public health professionals, families, and all others who care for children. Resources, information, and tools are accessible at the Center's website: http://www.medicalhomeinfo.org/ the premier source for improving the lives of all children and youth and their families through a medical home. For questions or more information, please e-mail medical_home@aap.org or call 800-433-9016 ext. 7621. |
