CYSHCN at Saratoga County Public Health
Tthe Children & Youth with Special Health Care Needs Program (CYSHCN) at Saratoga County Public Health is a program that provides information, guidance and referrals to families with a special needs child ages birth to 21.
Our program has helped families find funding for medical equipment, travel expenses, specialty feeding supplies and more. We love to connect our families to the resources that are available in Saratoga County.
In order to promote the use of Community Health Resources, the Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs program has developed a downloadable resources guide. This guide provides local and national resources, websites, phone apps, articles, and more. CYSHCN can also provide resources specific to certain conditions by request by contacting: Joann Maloney at (518) 584-7460 extension 8367 or by email.
