The Foster Care Health Program is primarily focused on meeting the healthcare needs of children in out of home placement. What is the Comprehensive Health and Developmental Assessment?

Each child receives a Comprehensive Health and Developmental Assessment within one month following placement. Because health is not only the absence of disease but a sense of physical, social and emotional well-being, the child's overall functioning is considered at the assessment.

Who Provides Medical Care for Children in placement? Comprehensive health services are provided by community health care providers.

Whenever possible, a child in out-of-home placement remains with the family's own medical provider.
