HCP Care Coordination
Program for children with special health care needs.
HCP is a free program for families who have a child with special health care needs from birth to age 21. A registered nurse will connect families with the information and resources they need to manage their child’s health care.
We work with families as a team to:
- Advocate for your child
- Identify and prioritize needs
- Develop a plan to achieve goals
Who can use this program?
We connect children and youth from birth to 21 years of age to the care they need.
There are no restrictions or eligibility requirements based on income or diagnosis to receive HCP services.
What services do we provide?
We provide information and resources, care coordination, and specialty clinics.
We help families find:
- Screenings and clinics, including specialty care
- Medical care, health, and community services
- Financial resources, including help with insurance
- Family support groups
- Transition services
- Answers to questions
How do I know if my child has a special health care need?
Your child may have a special health care need if they require health and related services more than that of other children generally.
Special health care needs can be:
- Physical, emotional, or behavioral.
- Diagnosed or undiagnosed.
- Conditions that last a lifetime or end with treatment.
- Easy to see in a child (visible health care needs) or not seen at all (invisible health care needs).
