The Catalyst Center has created a one-page infographic illustrating important information about inequities in coverage and financing of care for children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN). This is one page in a series of infographics exploring key focus areas in the world of health care financing and coverage for CYSHCN.
These one-pagers are a visually appealing and easy way to share information about the system of care for CYSHCN with stakeholders. Resources for further exploration of inequities in coverage and financing of care for CYSHCN are listed at the bottom of the infographic.
