Building a System of Care for Children with Complex Medical and Social Needs

View Webinar

This webinar presents Almost Home Kids’ unique care delivery model in which healthcare professionals provide transitional and respite care for children with medical complexities, serving as a crucial bridge from hospital to home. Speakers also share outcomes, including improved well-being of children and their families, financial benefits for hospitals and Medicaid, and addressing gaps in their community’s system of care.
