ECAC is excited to launch Innovative Approaches 2.0 to improve systems of care for children and youth with special health care needs in Catawba, Cleveland, Gaston, and Lincoln Counties.
The purpose of Innovative Approaches 2.0 is to enhance community systems of care for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and their families. Innovative Approaches (IA) uses a family-driven system change approach rather than a program-based approach to address community improvements for families of CYSHCN. ECAC’s Innovative Approaches 2.0 initiative will focus system change efforts within two key areas of focus which include (1) health care transition from pediatric to adult care and (2) emergency preparedness.
This initiative is supported through the NC Division of Child and Family Well-Being, Whole Child Health Section.
