For parents who have children with chronic health concerns or serious injuries, the road to wellness can sometimes involve a few detours. That’s why Pediatric Associates of the Northwest offers complex care management services. From developing a comprehensive care plan, to coordinating appointments among specialists, to simply checking in with families to see how they’re doing, our trained and compassionate nurse care managers are committed to improving the health outcomes of patients.

Benefits and Outcomes
Your Healthiest Life Starts Here
The healthcare system can be confusing, especially when you suddenly find yourself in the uncharted territory of a new diagnosis. That’s why our collaborative pediatric team works to identify patient-driven and patient-specific goals—and then develops a roadmap to get there. Our nurse care managers work as integrated team members at PANW while also being fluent in coordinating care with outside specialists and identifying resources for families. We are here to walk beside you, advocate for you, and empower you so that you can worry less and “family” more.
