Provide education and training sessions with parent-child activities and family meals for youth, parents, and care providers

Support a collaborative approach by a multidisciplinary team of professionals working to meet the full range of long-term care (LTC) needs for frail elderly patients living in community settings

Provide continuous, comprehensive, whole person primary care that uses a coordinated team of medical providers across the health care system

Partner with doctors, nurse practitioners, and other medical professionals to incorporate literacy support into regular well-child visits, especially in lower income communities

Provide sealants, fluoride treatment, screening, and other preventive dental care on school grounds via partnerships with dental professionals
