Course Description: This course is designed to help programs effectively track and monitor comprehensive health services.  Participants will learn how to understand requirements as described in the Head Start performance standards as well as how to break down barriers in order to successfully partnership with both parents and providers so that children can get the health care  

they need.  The core principles of the conference is to help participants:

• Develop a partnership between families and providers at a "medical home" where families can establish a continuous, ongoing source of accessible medical care

• Evaluate the quality of their program's screening and exam practices and communication with parents and develop strategies for improvement

• Understand and explain to parents the importance of continuous health care
• Support parents in obtaining follow-up services for identified health needs and track provisions of services
• Develop strategies to work with parents to advocate for needed services and build collaborations with providers to improve family and child benefits.
