Services & Programs
When you or your child needs medical care, you don’t want to wait around: you need high-quality, convenient care, suited to your schedule. That’s why the Division of Academic General Pediatrics is linked up with other pediatric care centers in the area, to provide maximum coverage for our patients.
The Comprehensive Family Care Center (CFCC) and The Family Care Center (FCC) offer high quality, convenient, multidisciplinary care to residents of the Bronx and beyond.
Both sites have attained Level Three Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certification from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)—that’s the highest ranking available. That means that as a patient, you or your child will receive patient-friendly, easy to access care of the highest caliber. Both the CFCC and the FCC are part of the ongoing Montefiore Medical Group learning collaborative to improve care in the areas of:
- Access for teens (Healthcare for children and adolescents)
- Immunizations
- Asthma management
- Coordination of care
- Patient satisfaction
- Experience of care
Preventing Illness Early Through Screening
A part of a large grant Bronx Ongoing Pediatric Screening, these sites offer routine screening for developmental and socio-emotional disorders in childhood: at 12,18, 24, and 36 months, followed by annual visits. For adolescents, sexually transmitted disease and mental health screening is available.
Both participate in the Healthy Steps program, designed to ensure that parents and their babies get started on the right track with regular check-ups, a dedicated parent hotline, educational literature, optional at home visits, parent discussion groups, referrals to children’s specialists, and on-site mental health treatment.
Enroll your little one in the Reach Out and Read program at either site to promote your child’s early literacy. Your little one will receive an age-appropriate book from six months to three years at each visit.
The Behavioral Health Integration Program (B-HIP) at both the CFCC and the FCC is designed for children ages five and up, and provides onsite counseling and mental health services for those who screen positive. Staff includes a child psychologist and child psychiatrist.
