MTAAP is proud to announce we are partnering with DPHHS Child Special Health Services Section, with funding in part from an AAP Healthy People 2030 Grant, to improve care for Montana children and youth with special healthcare needs. The aim to improve care for these families will be achieved through the following activities: a new 1/2 day conference focused on transition of care from inpatient and NICU settings to outpatient settings as well as the formation of a monthly call group that links primary care providers to pediatricians that consistently provide care to patients with special needs along with a parent partner. Registration for the 1/2 day conference is open and more information can be found here. Recruitment for the call group will begin this fall. If interested in more information please contact the following:
