Care coordinators can help you find community resources, connect you with a counselor, or help with immediate needs like food, transportation, housing and more.
Care coordination means that all of your providers work with each other. These providers could be your doctor, behavioral health provider, or your social worker. They want to make sure you get the treatment you need to stay healthy. There are real problems that could affect your health. These problems include not having a way to get to your treatment, lack of healthy food, or living in an unsafe setting. Your care coordinator can help you find local resources like food, clothing, utility help, transportation, and housing. Your care coordinator can also talk to the people involved with you and your family, like your child’s school, or the Department of Human Services.
If you are interested in finding a care coordinator in your area, please call 888-502-4186.
