And they’re at risk for becoming adults without healthy family ties. Chosen provides services specifically for this at-risk population. Our customized programs include:

Chosen’s Model of Care includes a consultation and educational service for parents considering or already using medication as part of their child’s treatment. While Chosen does not prescribe medication, our board-certified family nurse practitioner helps parents understand the benefits and side-effects of treatments prescribed by the family’s medical provider.
