Why the HCY Home Care Program is Essential in Missouri?

The Healthy Children and Youth (HCY) home care program plays a vital role in ensuring the well-being of countless children and youth in Missouri. Here’s why the program is so crucial

Fulfills a critical need

Many children and youth in Missouri face challenges accessing quality healthcare due to various factors like poverty, lack of insurance, or geographical barriers. The HCY program bridges this gap by providing essential medical and non-medical services to eligible individuals.

Early intervention and prevention

The program’s emphasis on preventive care is crucial in identifying and addressing potential health issues early on. This not only improves children’s health outcomes but also reduces the need for more intensive interventions later.

Supports children with special needs

The HCY program provides comprehensive support for children with special needs, including those with physical, developmental, or cognitive challenges. These services are essential for ensuring these children receive the home care they need to grow and reach their full potential.

I am so happy we found Cunningham’s to help care for my mom. Charlene is very hands on and communicative…which had not been the case with a different provider we had used. The caregivers are great with mom and very reliable. (Another issue we had in the past.) Thank you, and your team, for all you do!
