Children with Special Health Care Needs
Understanding, coordinated care for children with conditions expected to last longer than a year — working alongside your child's whole team.
Did you know that one in five families has a child with a special health care need? These children or adolescents have health or developmental conditions that are expected to last longer than a year, and may require more healthcare than other children. Some will require medications, while others may need therapies, counseling or special equipment.
Having health providers who know your child and their conditions makes your work, as a parent and advocate of a child with special healthcare needs, more manageable. You can trust The Pediatric Care Center to provide the understanding and caring medical attention you need.
We are committed to collaborating with you and other members of your child's team (educators, physicians, therapists, etc.) to help you organize and understand your child's special condition, and in so doing, facilitate and maintain access to the excellent health care services your child deserves.
