Linking Child Development logo

The WVPCA and the WV Healthy Kids and Families Coalition have initiated a project to integrate child development services into a primary care setting.  The project is funded by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and the WVDHHR's Office of Behavioral Health Services.  This pilot project will run from January 1, 2007 - March 31, 2008 and involves three community health centers and one in-patient behavioral health center from around the State.   The project offers the opportunity for these health centers to be part of a statewide learning collaborative on health care and child development, and in the development of new tools for screening and parent education.  Click here for more details, or click on the West Virginia Healthy Kids and Families Coalition's (look for Special Projects 2007) link below for more information.
