Leadership Network
Support for MHLN Community Teams
The purpose of this section is to support the activities of the county-based, interdisciplinary Medical Home Leadership Network (MHLN) teams in Washington State. Other groups working to improve family-centered, coordinated care for children and youth with special health care needs may also find the information in this section useful.
MHLN teams identify and carry out at least one strategy to strengthen medical homes for children with special health care needs in their community. Activities often include outreach to other health care and service providers to increase awareness of community resources as well as other strategies that support medical homes. Many teams, as a team or in their other roles, write grants for additional funding to support local activities.
