In 2011, the United Way of Broward County (UWBC) granted funding to CDTC to establish the Lift a Child to Health (LCH) program to expand the comprehensive care coordination services to additional families in the Primary Care Clinic.
LCH assists families in managing their child’s medical referrals and appointments and helps them navigate a complex health care system so that their child may experience optimal health outcomes. The Care Coordinators help to reduce healthcare barriers for families by linking them with important community resources and communicate with the clinic frequently to help families understand and coordinate services for their children.
Transitioning Adolescents Forward Into Tomorrow (TAFT)
In January 2015, CDTC received an incredible grant opportunity from the Taft Foundation to create a program specifically to help families navigate the switch from the pediatric care to the unfamiliar adult care system. Transitioning Adolescents Forward into Tomorrow (TAFT) Program provides care management services to youth from ages 13 to 24 years old and serves as the compass to help guide families through the conversion to adult care for their special needs young adult.
