JULY 2023 |
Welcome to our third quarterly edition of the 2023 Navigator. In this edition, we’re focusing on the topic of youth and pediatrics. While all of you may not be pediatric providers or providers who also see youth, issues that affect these populations can affect everyone. Whether it’s the good or bad health care habits that are formed at a young age or the way that pediatric issues can touch an entire family and our future; they are relevant to all.
We look forward to hearing from you with any feedback or questions you may have. You can always send us an email at providercommunication@coaccess.com. Thank you, as always, for being a part of our network of providers.
In good health,
Navigator staff
