MEDICAL HOME SERVICES
COMPLEX CARE MANAGEMENT & CARE COORDINATION
• We care for many patients with complex medical needs who see multiple specialists
• We understand that navigating that care can be challenging and it is our job to help coordinate that care
• As primary care providers, we serve as the central link to specialists, helping to interpret and coordinate the recommendations of those specialists
• As the medical team who knows you well, we keep your child and your family at the center of those recommendations
• We ensure to have direct communication with the speciality providers and to schedule family meetings with the family, patient, and all providers involved in your child’s care
PATIENT CENTERED-MEDICAL HOME
• Medical home is a foundation we have used for quite some time at WCPAM in which all of our staff work hard to care for all of the medical needs of your child, from infancy through young childhood
