LINCS (Linking Individual Needs of Children with Services)
Linking Individual Needs of Children with Services (LINCS)
Children with complex special health care needs can find a "medical home" at CHAM. In the LINCS Program, children from birth to age 21 years with chronic medical conditions, developmental disabilities and/or dependence on technology have their care coordinated by an experienced and devoted team of pediatricians, social workers and support staff.
LINCS staff work closely with all specialists and other programs located at CHAM, coordinate inpatient care when necessary, and are accessible by phone and for emergency visits daily. The LINCS ProgramÂ’s medical director, Dr. Alex Okun, has devoted his 14-year career at Einstein and Montefiore to caring for children with special health care needs.
