About Us
The Family-to-Family Health Information Center (F2F HIC) is a non-profit organization that helps families of children and youth with special health care needs (CYSHCN) and the professionals who serve them. Because the health care needs of CYSHCN are chronic and complex, parents and caregivers are often challenged with finding the resources to provide and finance health care for their children.
F2F HIC is in a unique position to help families because parents of CYSHCN staff/run it themselves, and as parents, they have traveled through the maze of services and programs designed to help CYSHCN. We can help families with our unique resources:
- Staff at F2F HIC understands the issues that families face, provide advice, offer a multitude of resources, and tap into a network of other families and professionals for support and information.
- Family Voices, through the National Center for Family/ Professional Partnerships, provides technical assistance, training,
and connections to other F2F HICs and collaborating organizations.
- We also offer individual counseling and group education on health care issues in your communities.

Connecting Families
Our goal is to connect families statewide to other families who are experiencing similar challenges in accessing quality services and supports for their children.
Believing that parents are experts in their own respective journeys, the Family to Family Information Center (F2F HIC) navigator team guides our efforts in identifying service delivery shortcomings and raises awareness to state and federal policy-makers, stakeholders and “others” that action is urgently needed. If you are a family member of an individual with special needs, or a youth/self advocate and are interested in joining this fun and important group, email Julie Finholm at jfinholm@wapave.org
