Coordinating care. Supporting development. Caring for the whole child.
When your child has specialized medical or developmental needs, coordinating
appointments, treatments, and follow-up care can feel overwhelming. At
Manning Family Children’s, our Complex Care Program helps bring
those pieces together.
Our team partners with families, pediatricians, specialists, and hospital
care teams to support children through every stage of their care.
Our services
Infant Development & Follow-Up Clinic
Specialized follow-up for infants and children through age 3.
Our Infant Development & Follow-Up Clinic provides ongoing evaluation
and monitoring for young children who may be at increased risk for developmental
or medical challenges.
Your child may qualify if they have one or more of the following:
Born before 32 weeks of pregnancy
Birth weight less than 1,500 grams (approximately 3 pounds, 5 ounces)
Received therapeutic hypothermia (cooling treatment) for hypoxic-ischemic
encephalopathy (HIE)
Required prolonged or intensive heart or breathing support
Received treatment for neonatal abstinence syndrome
Diagnosed with a genetic syndrome
Receives oxygen at home, uses a feeding tube, or has a tracheostomy
A previous NICU admission is not required for every child. Eligibility is based on your child's medical history and the clinic's
referral criteria.
Our team works with families to monitor development, identify emerging
needs, and coordinate appropriate follow-up and referrals.
Complex Care Coordination
Helping families navigate care for children with complex medical needs.
Children with multiple medical conditions often receive care from several
specialists and may need additional support at home or during hospitalizations.
Our Complex Care Coordination team works with eligible children and their
families to help make that care more connected.
Services include:
Proactive outreach: Checking in with families to identify needs and provide ongoing support.
Specialty care coordination: Helping coordinate appointments and communication among specialists.
Hospital discharge support: Working with inpatient teams and families to help prepare for a safe transition home.
Preventive and routine care: Helping families stay on track with recommended health maintenance and
follow-up.
Care team communication: Supporting collaboration among your child's pediatrician, specialists,
and other healthcare providers.
Eligibility for Complex Care Coordination is based on medical complexity
and review by our team.
A Partner in Your Child's Care
Our goal is to help families feel supported, improve communication among
care teams, and make navigating healthcare easier.
The Complex Care Program works alongside your child's existing physicians
and specialists. Care coordination does not replace your child's primary
care provider.
Referrals and Appointments
Talk with your child's healthcare provider about whether the Complex Care
Program or Early Development & Follow-Up Clinic may be appropriate.
