Health Home Care Management
Health Home Care Management Staff
Our social work care managers have masters degrees in Social Work and New York State licensure. They have a vast knowledge of the resources available to medically complex children in local communities and help parents tie all the pieces of a complex care plan together to help each child reach his or her potential. Your care manager is able to make home visits, attend medical appointments or school meetings with you, and link you to social service agencies to provide support. She is your partner in the care of your child.

Learn more about how Noah and Katy were part of the magic of Health Home with the assistance of their Health Home Care Manager, Crystal Jones, L.M.S.W.
