Assisting Families with Navigation of the Healthcare System and Pediatric Primary Care

The Illinois Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (ICAAP), in partnership with the Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) and experts from across the health care and housing sectors, have produced two educational webinars to assist supportive housing case managers and shelter staff in improving their ability to help their clients navigate the health care system, connecting them to pediatric primary care and other resources, and increasing participants knowledge of child health risks associated with childhood housing insecurity. This webinar, entitled Assisting Families with Navigation of the Health Care System and Pediatric Primary Care, will increase participants’ understanding of pediatric practice and their ability and effectiveness in sharing information on care options, helping families navigate the health care system, and supporting families in accessing pediatric care.

The webinar will be presented by Julie Nelson with CSH, and will take place June 24th, 9:30 to 11:00 am via Zoom.
