NYVT Media: St. Catherine’s Earns Two Awards for Excellence
ALBANY – In the past several weeks, St. Catherine’s Center for Children has been honored twice for excellence in programming.
Most recently, the New York State Parent Teacher Association recognized St. Catherine’s Lansingburgh Connects program with their Community Service Award at the Lansingburgh PTA Council’s annual Founder’s Day event. A couple of weeks prior, St. Catherine’s Access & Visitation program was awarded the Hon. Anthony V. Cardona Award by the Friends of Albany Children’s Center at its annual event.
Health Home Care Management programs, like the one at St. Catherine’s Center for Children, work to improve the health and well-being of Medicaid-eligible children and families dealing with chronic health issues. When issues like asthma, diabetes, a mental health diagnosis, developmental or neurological conditions or complex traumas go untreated for years, it creates larger issues that often result in costly emergency room visits and inpatient hospitalizations.
Unfortunately, many individuals don’t receive care for issues like these due to the significant social barriers they face, including joblessness, lack of transportation, lack of childcare and food insecurity. Health Home Care Management programs help clients tackle these issues while identifying areas of care that clients are lacking. Care Managers increase clients’ connectivity to the healthcare system to improve their health before it reaches a critical point.
