in 2009, a new and innovative healthcare initiative was launched – the NaC Comprehensive healthcare Center. This Center integrates NaC ’s licensed article 28 medical and article 31 mental health clinics with its preventive Services and Foster Care programs. NaC is one of the few child welfare agencies in New York State to offer such a comprehensive and coordinated healthcare Center under one roof. it is also the only Center in the state to provide highly specialized interdisciplinary medical, mental health and preventive health services specifically for children with chronic medical conditions involved in the child welfare system. dr. Wendy geringer was hired to serve as the Comprehensive healthcare Center director.

The Bridges to health (B2h) program has notably expanded in 2009. NaC ’s B2h population has increased from 20 children served in 2008, the year the program began, to 108 children in 200 9. B2h is a Medicaid Waiver program initiated by New York State to deliver intensive add-on services for children who are or have been in foster care and who are medically fragile, seriously emotionally disturbed, or have a developmental NaC alumni Darnell Peterson, disability.
