Home and Community-Based Options Waiver
Medicaid waiver funding that supports children with disabilities in home and community settings rather than institutional care.
Putting People First
Children & Youth
BLH partners with families and children and youth with special health care needs to navigate complex systems and connect with the right supports — guided by person-centered planning every step of the way.
Every child deserves care that moves with them through life.
Our licensed professionals — including doctors, social workers, and nurses — use person-centered planning to help children and youth with special health care needs thrive at every stage, from early intervention through the transition to adult care.
