Ernie McNutt, Assistant VP of Care Management, discusses the pivotal role of Care Coordination Organizations (CCOs), like ours, support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Ernie dives into how we offer holistic care, the evolution of care management in New York, and the importance of personalized, strengths-based support.

I am so thankful to Craig Escude, MD, FAAFP, FAADM who interviewed me for the IDD Health Matters Podcast at the NY Alliance for Inclusion and Innovation Conference. We discussed critical aspects of health, wellness, and equity for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). We talked about the beginning of CCOs in 2018 and how Care Design New York and other CCOs became the independent advocates for individuals with IDD, helping them access needed services including healthcare and how Care Managers can sometimes transform lives.
