Care Coordination

A care coordinator is your main contact person once your child is a patient at Shriners Hospitals for Children^®. You can ask your care coordinator any questions related to appointments, future admissions, or general needs you may have. The care coordinator will set up rehabilitation and surgical admissions, arrange referrals to community/healthcare agencies in your hometown, assist in care planning, coordinate discharge and related needs, and provide support for transition back to home, school and community.

Our team can help serve as a liaison with the following:

• Connecting with social workers for individual and family counseling.
• Identification of your child’s health care needs.
• Fostering better communication between families’ community and hospital healthcare providers.
• Assist in accessing community resources including vocational, rehabilitation, early intervention and available state and federal programs.
