At the Complex Care Center (CCC), our passionate team offers 24/7 care for children with complex chronic medical conditions. Many of our patients have multiple health conditions and may use ventilators or feeding tubes at home.
For these patients, it is vital to get regular primary care, including staying up-to-date on vaccinations. That's why we offer care for any child with complex health conditions, regardless of insurance coverage. We also see children from birth until age 24 to offer continuous care.We also coordinate your child's care across all specialties, ensuring all of your child's doctors are working together to give your child the best possible treatment. If you have any questions about your child's treatment or conditions, we are ready to help you any time of day or night.
We are your partner in supporting your child's health. Learn more about what to expect at your child's appointment.
What to Expect at Your First Appointment at the Complex Care Center
At your first visit with Complex Care you will be meeting our care team, which will include dietary, social work, care management, and your assigned provider. We allow two hours for this visit, so be sure to bring all medical supplies, equipment, medications, formulas, or any other items needed during this two-hour appointment.
Making an Appointment at the Complex Care Center
A referral is needed to establish care with Complex Care from your current physician or specialist. A chart review will then be performed to determine eligibility based upon measures or medical complexity for admission to the clinic.
The Complex Care Center requires two visits per year for routine care, and a full medication review done by our pharmacist. We offer both well child appointments and sick visits at our offices. Please contact us to schedule your child's appointment.
Preparing for Your Visit
Before your visit, please create a list of your child's medications to bring with you. Please be sure to include any vitamins or supplements they take.
You should also create a list of any questions or concerns you have and bring this list with you to the visit. It can be hard to keep all of your child's care information straight; a list of questions ensures we provide all the answers you need to understand your child's care.
