Toolkit for Implementing Medical Respite Care Delivery

Community Impact: Toolkit

How to use this toolkit for implementing medical respite care delivery:

This toolkit guides you through the journey our team and our partners at Buffalo City Mission (BCM), Erie County Medical Center, Jericho Road Community Health Center, and Spectrum Health and Human Services took in opening the first medical respite unit in the city of Buffalo. BCM’s vision of a social model of medical respite, called recuperative care, housed in the second largest metropolitan area in New York State, also known as “city of good neighbors,” directed our path.
