Care Management and Care Coordination Assistance
YCCO can help organize your care. YCCO has staff that are part of your care coordination team.

You May Need a Care Plan
You and your care team will decide if a care plan is needed. This plan will help meet your needs and is made with you, your care team and providers. Your plan will list supports and services needed to help you reach your goals. This plan addresses medical, dental, cultural, developmental, behavioral and social needs so you have positive health and wellness results.
The plan will be reviewed and updated at least annually, and as your needs change or if you ask for a review and update. You, your representative and your providers will get a copy of your care plan.
You, an authorized representative or provider can request a copy of your care plan or request development of care plan by calling your care coordinator, the Care Management Department at 833-257-2191 or by emailing caremanagement@yamhillcco.org.
