Care Model
Providing Comprehensive Care to Individuals with Disabilities and Special Needs In One Easy Location
Medical Home at The MAC
The Medical Home at The MAC will be the first of its kind in the nation, in terms of focusing primarily on individuals with disabilities and special needs of all ages, the scale of its comprehensive services and its medical philosophy of coordination. The Medical Home at The MAC is being designed with a primary-care focus; however, specialists will also be situated on-site to provide, coordinated and integrated medical care.
Oftentimes, family members of individuals with disabilities and special needs cannot afford to take enough time off from work to transport their loved one to all the necessary medical providers. As a result, when they do take time off from work, their time is limited, and they focus on the specialist(s) most associated with the special need requiring treatment.
The Medical Home at The MAC also leverages the MACNav™™, The MAC Therapy Anchor and MAC community-based organizations so everyone, working together, can provide the most complete and coordinated services to special-needs families.

Community Support Services at The MAC
Many of the social services provided at The MAC will be provided by community partners. The MAC will address the Non-Medical Drivers of Health (NMDOH) and special care needs for all our MAC Members.
The MAC provides a collaborative process of assessment, planning, facilitation, education, evaluation, and advocacy for non-medical supportive services. These are well within the available MAC partner services as part of our mission to become an all-in-one solution to disabilities and special needs care. Community based organization referrals and clinical linkages are made and tracked using our electronic platform that will serve as the MAC Member’s service record.
