Good Morning Ellen: I hope all is well with you and the Bronx Prevention programs. I left a message for you on 7/14/17 regarding a possible linkage between Good Shepherd’s Prevention programs and St. Dominic’s Non-Medicaid Care Coordination program. The Care Coordination program works with children with Severe Emotional Behaviors who do not qualify for Health Homes. The idea for the linkage was to provide St. Dominic’s community support for children who are ready for discharge, but would need additional support.
