A Community Approach

While each Care Connection for Children program is funded by the Virginia Department of Health, each program is locally - not centrally - managed, offering an optimally effective, community-based approach to care. Members of the staff understand the needs of children and families they see each day, and their compassion combined with their knowledge of the community's many health care resources provide a foundation of support for families who are often frustrated by the perceived health care maze.

A Unique Feature of Southwest Virginia Care Connection for Children

In addition to our case management and care coordination, CCC offers direct services by way of Pediatric Specialty Clinics. These clinics include: Cardiology, Cystic Fibrosis, Maxillofacial, Neurology, Neurodevelopmental, and Orthopedic. Cardiology and Neurology Clinics require a physician's referral seen.

Children are eligible to receive services from Care Connection for Children if they are:

• Meet definition of special health care needs
• Residents of Virginia
• Under the age of 21

Pool of Funds

The Children with Special Health Care Needs Pool of Funds provides a limited amount of money to assist Virginia's uninsured and underinsured children with special health care needs to receive care they otherwise could not afford (such as medical equipment, physical therapy and medication that are not covered by the child's insurance). The staff at Care Connection for Children can assist in determining eligibility for access to Pool of Funds.
