Medical Home Program
As part of a national initiative overseen by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Medical Home Program at Saint Mary’s focuses on building strong partnerships between families and their pediatric care providers. This model ensures that children receive comprehensive care from trusted providers, and it improves collaboration between caregivers and healthcare professionals to help meet both medical and non-medical needs.
What We Do
Families will be connected with Care Coordinators who are registered nurses with over 30 years of experience in pediatrics. Our Care Coordinators address medical, social, developmental, behavioral, educational and financial needs to achieve optimal health and wellness outcomes.
Program Eligibility
Children and youth with special healthcare needs ages 0 to 21 who have chronic medical, developmental or behavioral conditions which are expected to last at least a year. The program serves the 42 towns of the Northwest region of CT including Greater Waterbury, Danbury and Torrington. To be connected with a care coordinator or to make a referral please call (203) 709-5716.
