Health Home Program
The Health Home Program provides care coordination of medical, behavioral health and long-term services and supports for eligible individuals of all ages, at no cost to your client. The program uses a network of local agencies that work together to help clients understand and manage their health concerns. This helps reduce dependence on emergency departments and prevents avoidable hospitalizations.
