Our Team
MHP employs parents of children with special health care needs, so that the families we work with feel a sense of empathy and trust from the work we do. MHP employees are uniquely qualified to serve our family clients because we have “walked the walk”. MHP is able to provide resource coordination services free of charge and not on the basis of diagnosis, so we are proud to promise to never turn a family away. Your Child is Our Mission.
