The Medical Home is a model of primary health care that focuses on team-based care with the patient and family at the center. It can be especially helpful for individuals with disabilities and chronic health conditions. But primary care can’t do it alone. We are here to help primary care, families and community partners find the best ways to work together to improve care for vulnerable children and youth in Washington State.

Primary focus areas:

• The medical home for children and youth, including how to support patient and family engagement
• The “medical home neighborhood,” which includes specialty and community services and how to coordinate care for patients
• Developmental screening in primary care practices and early childhood settings and helping enhance community assessment and diagnosis capacity for autism and other developmental disabilities
• Health care transformation and making services easily accessible for children, youth and their families.
