Family to Family Health Information Center
The Florida Family to Family Health Information Center is utilized as a resource and referral center for children with special health care needs, those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally.
Because:
- Families need information to make good decisions for their children;
- Families must know how to survive in our changing health care environment; and,
- Families can learn best from other families who have “been there...”
Featuring:
- A toll free number
- Newsletters
- Links to other organizations
- Health Information Stations
- Training & Workshops
- Resources and information
- And more…
Run by and for families, the Center will:
- Assist families and providers as they navigate the public and private health systems in the state and communities;
- Help families and providers understand options for health insurance;
- Educate families and providers about ways to make good choices of health providers and resources;
- Listen to families and providers as they describe their encounters with the health system, and guiding them to possible solutions;
- Work with government agencies to gather and share information, monitor health care, and identify ways to improve public and private health;
- Act as a link among families, managed care programs, providers, and bureaucracies.
