Build a Team-The Medical Home Model

The type of care needed by a child or adolescent with special health care needs depends largely on the level of complexity involved and may vary from individual to individual.

A concept called the “medical home model” helps us to understand the importance of Building A Team for your child. Essentially, as a parent or guardian of a medically complex adolescent or child, you are going to be the number 1 advocate in building a Medical Home (a Coordinated Care Team) for your son or daughter.
