Question:
What is a care coordinator?
Answer:
A care coordinator is your main contact person once your child is a patient at Shriners Hospitals for ChildrenĀ®. 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.
