Abstract:
In the United States, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) consistently experience health disparities. One factor is limited access to quality healthcare services equipped to meet the needs of those with IDD, particularly as they transition to adulthood. The purpose of this work is to describe the development and implementation of Jefferson's Continuing Care Program (JCCP), which was designed to address this care gap. We share how the idea, logistics, and support for the clinic were developed; how JCCP was designed to be uniquely accessible both via physical space and clinic flow; and how those challenges encountered have been crucial for fine-tuning optimal patient care. Since its inception in 2019, JCCP has made large strides towards educating the next generation of medical providers to care for patients with IDD. Looking to the future, JCCP plans to broaden its impact by serving more patients, continuing our advocacy and education work, and continuing to adapt to the needs of our community.
