The Children’s Center Model Capitalizes on:

1. The perception of families of the medical home as a trusted source of information;

2. The medical home as a natural point of contact to engage all families, even hard to reach families, with young children;

3. The opportunity to expose families to consistent health messaging from medical professionals as well as from nonmedical professionals that is necessary to change behaviors.
