Care Coordination in Action: Supporting a Family with Sickle Cell Disease
In recognition of World Sickle Cell Awareness Day on June 19, Partners For Kids is highlighting the meaningful impact of care coordination on patient outcomes.
When Nikki Houston, RN, began working with a new family affected by sickle cell disease, they were experiencing many barriers, including language differences, limited transportation, food insecurity and a lack of understanding about the condition. Through consistent education and close collaboration, Nikki established a strong, trusting relationship with the family -- making a lasting impact on their overall health and well-being

Immunization Rates for Ohio Children
Vaccine hesitancy continues to be a public health concern across the country. In Ohio, a recent poll of public opinion regarding childhood vaccines, combined with vaccination completion data from Partners For Kids, offers valuable insights from over 800 respondents.
Key findings include:
- 86% believe routine vaccines are safe or very safe for children
- 87% think it is important or very important that children get vaccinated
- Only 43% felt confident or very confident in the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine
While trust is still demonstrated for vaccines and routine childhood vaccination rates are currently stable in our Medicaid population, continued efforts to promote these vaccines with a focus on HPV and influenza are still needed.
