What is Care Management?
The Care Management Programs at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center are designed to support people by coordinating their care and connecting them to services that best support their health and daily lives. We work closely with primary care physicians (PCP), patients, families, and health care providers to support care in a patient-centered, community-based way. All of our care management programs strongly support shared decision making with the patient and family, giving you a voice in your own health care.
Our Programs
