Description

From spring 2024 to 2025, the Maine CDC conducted a statewide gap analysis to identify service needs for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and their families. Guided by the Blueprint for Change—focused on health equity, family well-being, access, and service financing—the analysis revealed major gaps, including limited family support, poor care coordination, long wait times, and barriers for those utilizing public insurance. My role involved aligning these findings with national frameworks like the 2024 National Academies’ Roadmap, which echoed similar challenges and stressed the need for urgent, systemic change.
