Mission
The mission of the Medical Home Work Group is to enhance the development of Medical Homes within the primary care setting.
The work group includes family members of children with special health care needs, representatives from community organizations, state agencies and family advocacy organizations, community physicians and other health care providers, and other partners.
The work group develops and implements a strategic plan to achieve the goal that all children in Texas, including children and youth with special health care needs, will receive their health care in a medical home. A key part of the strategic plan is to increase the number of health care practitioners who provide a medical home.
