- Mental HealthYour child’s mental health is just as important as his or her physical health. Mental fitness during childhood means having the developmental and emotional ability to learn healthy social skills and how to cope with problems. When your child is mentally healthy, he or she has a positive quality of life, and can function well whether at home, at school, or in your community.
- Behavioral HealthIf your child has been diagnosed with, or is at risk for developing, certain chronic illnesses and diseases or behavioral health problems such as asthma, diabetes, ADHD, or obesity, you may be assigned to a special Care Coordination Team. Each team is made up of one of our physicians, a medical assistant, and a care coordinator who will develop an individualized care plan for your child. They also help to coordinate specialty care to provide you with community resources and support.
