WHAT IS A MEDICAL HOME
A medical home is not a building, house or hospital, but rather an approach to providing health services in a high-quality and cost-effective manner. A medical home is defined as health care that includes coordination of care
WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR YOUTH
With health care services for adolescents who have special needs, the focus is on promoting physical and mental health as part of a successful transition from youth to adulthood
