I'm excited to highlight the Enhanced Care Management (ECM) Benefit for Children and Youth Populations report from Children Now. This Medi-Cal benefit holds tremendous potential to improve access and care for children and youth, yet remains under-utilized. The report provides a comprehensive, user-friendly summary, complete with valuable links and recommendations. An excellent resource for parents, community-based organizations and anyone looking to better understand how this benefit can support children and youth in need. Let's work together to ensure this benefit reaches its full potential! #healthcare #ChildrensHealth #MediCal #ECM?#CommunityCare?
