RN Case Management Program

The Medically Fragile Case Management Program provides Registered Nurse Case management/service coordination services statewide for children who are Medically fragile and their families via nine satellite offices. The case managers use a family centered approach to care, and through collaborative partnerships act as advocates, resource persons, facilitators, and paperwork coordinators for families. Case managers support parents as team leaders who address the day-to-day care of their child. The services in the community and through the Medically Fragile EPSDT and Medically Fragile Waiver support families in their decision to care for their child who is medically fragile in their home.
