PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The CYSHCN Program is for children and adolescents who have chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional conditions that require specialized care, treatment, or services. These children may have conditions such as anxiety, asthma, autism, diabetes, down syndrome, learning difficulties, developmental delay, or ADD/ADHD.
The program aims to improve the well-being of these children and their families by providing access to medical care, community resources and support services. The program seeks to ensure that children with special health care needs receive appropriate care, have access to health insurance and are supported in their development and education.
