Purpose/Goals: 

Working in partnership with the Hood Center for Children and Families at Dartmouth Medical School and the Maine CDC, MCPH is working to disseminate a family-centered and practice-based  method to improve the improve of care of children with chronic illness.  The model, which has been in existence in New Hampshire for several years, has been proven to improve cost and quality outcomes for such children and has received high marks from families and providers.  We look forward to providing technical assistance to help disseminate the model in Maine.
