Patient and Family Centered: A partnership among the Post Road Pediatrics clinicians, Behavioral Health clinicians, clinic staff, admin staff, Medical Home Care Coordinator, our patients, and their families ensures that decisions respect patients’ wants, needs, and preferences, and that patients have the education and support they need to make decisions and participate in their own care.
