"Family physicians are comprehensive-ists. They provide holistic care, addressing a wide range of health needs throughout a person’s life, quite often, including care for the entire family. This comprehensive approach is crucial; it ensures continuity and consistency in care."

For many families, leaving the hospital after a child’s serious diagnosis is just the beginning of a long and uncertain recovery journey. Post-acute care is crucial, but many families and providers don’t know where to turn once the hospital doors close. A recent study published in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine identified 109 pediatric post-acute care facilities across the U.S.—yet there are still huge regions where there are no dedicated pediatric post-acute care facilities. At Ranken Jordan, we’re working to connect families with the resources they need. Our very own Dr. Nick Holekamp has been dedicated to gathering data on post-acute care programs across the country, to create a directory that helps families and healthcare professionals navigate this essential phase of care. Read more about this important research and how we can collaborate to close the gaps in pediatric post-acute care here. https://lnkd.in/ga9JtEpY #RankenJordan #PediatricCare #PostAcuteCare #BridgeHospitals #HealthcareCommunity Tag - https://lnkd.in/gqtc26jY
