During this training workshop we will discuss the importance of having a medical home for your child. Every medical practice is a medical home, but how does yours rate? At your child's medical provider's office, are they listening to you? Are your concerns identified and addressed? Are your customs and beliefs recognized and important? Are you able to communicate openly and honestly? Are you treated with dignity and respect? Are you provided with complete and unbiased information? If you answered "No" to any of these questions, you may benefit from our medical home training. We can help you understand how to establish and maintain a partnership-type relationship with your child's medical provider.
