Treatments and Services

The Comprehensive Care Program (CCP) provides patient-centered, pediatric primary health care for infants, children and young adults with special health care needs and medical complexity. We practice state-of-the-art, evidence-based medicine for children from birth to 23 years of age with developmental disabilities, chronic illnesses and/or complex medical conditions.

In addition to routine primary care, we offer the following special services:

• Enhanced primary healthcare for preventive and routine health care with continuity
• 24/7 family support for children with special needs, including on-call coverage for medical issues
• Access supported by the larger primary care practice for urgent care/same day visits as well as integrated behavioral health staff on site.  
• Case management for children with disabilities to coordinate various aspects of medical, social, nursing, and support services
• Child advocacy to help parents advocate more effectively for services through public and private agencies
• Multidisciplinary coordination of care and specialty visits with other pediatric services when possible, including pulmonary/allergy, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, hematology, neurology, occupational therapy, nutrition, social work, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, audiology, and dental. We make every effort to schedule visits with the specialists you need to see on the same days as your appointment with us.  
• Transition services to help families of young adults prepare for adult life after high school, including helping complete applications for guardianship, Social Security, Department of Developmental Services (DDS), vocational health rehab, and MassHealth
