PCHC Advocacy

Philadelphia Coordinated Health Care (PCHC) advocates for individuals with an Intellectual Disability (ID) and/or Autism in a variety of ways to help increase access to quality health care services and supports in the community.

PCHC collaborates on local county, state, regional and national projects that enhance health care services and resources for people with ID and/or Autism and those who may have co-occurring mental health challenges. In the past, PCHC has partnered with the regional American Alzheimer’s Association, American Cancer Society and with a local Diabetes Education Center and Hospice Care Organizations.


PCHC will share vital health care information relevant to the ID Community in the Communication Alerts section in the areas of: Behavioral Health, Physical Health and Individuals and Family Health.
