The care provided by a medical home is the kind of care we all want and deserve.
It is the way your child's pediatric health care team approaches providing care for your child. A medical home means that: your pediatric team knows your child's health history, they listen to your concerns and needs, as well as the needs of your child.
This team also works in partnership with you to make sure that the medical and non-medical needs of your child and family are met... and so much more.
Just as you make regular home improvements, you can make improvements to your child's medical home as well by working closely with your doctor's office.
Join special guest, Dr. Jennifer Lail, and host Melanie Cole as they share a few things to think about and to discuss with your child's primary care provider in order to make your medical home experience the best it can be.
