Community and Family Partnerships
摘要
Having a child with medical complexity (CMC) greatly impacts parents and siblings, and can negatively affect the socioeconomic status of the family. Supporting families in caring for their children is paramount to improving the health and experiences of CMC. This includes supporting the siblings, seeking out creative ways to provide home nursing, and finding resources such as state Medicaid waiver programs to finance needed equipment and services. National organizations, often parent-led, can provide additional layers of support for families in finding resources.
