Parents, Caregivers & Youth

Find an EPIC-IC Medical Home practice for your child!

A family-centered medical home is not a building, house, hospital, or home healthcare service. It is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care.
In a family-centered medical home the pediatric care team works in partnership with your child and your family to assure that all of the medical and non-medical needs of your child are met.
Through this partnership the pediatric care team can help your family access, coordinate, and understand specialty care, educational services, out-of-home care, family support, and other public and private community services that are important for the overall health of your child and family.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) developed the medical home model for delivering primary care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective to all children and youth, including those with special health care needs.
