You can call our Health Care Concierge team at 1-800-650-8762 and select the option for care management services. TTY users should call 711.
We have programs for:
- Asthma
- Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
- Diabetes

You do not have to enroll your child in any of these programs. If you do not want to join, just let the nurse know when they call you.
Teach the child in your life about vaccines with our Daniel Tiger audio story
Immunizations or vaccines are a key part of keeping children as healthy as possible. Many children may be scared of getting vaccinated. We can help! We're proud to partner with Fred Rogers Productions to offer a free audio story in which Daniel Tiger talks about being brave when he gets a shot. The story is great for children who are age 5 years old or younger. You can listen to it together before your child gets a well-visit immunization, flu shot, or COVID-19 vaccine.
