National Resource Center for Patient/Family-Centered Medical Home

The National Resource Center for Patient/Family-Centered Medical Home provides information, support, and advocacy for families and pediatric healthcare professionals who care for children with special needs in managed care arrangements.

Located on the American Academy of Pediatrics website, the National Resource Center for Patient/Family-Centered Medical Home offers:

  • Information on why a medical home is important
  • A medical home overview and FAQs
  • Tools and resources for families
  • Resources for medical professionals
  • Care coordination resources
