Children’s Medical Center Plano is home to the newly opened Rees-Jones Center for Foster Care Excellence, a specialized primary care facility for children currently in the Texas foster care system.
The Rees-Jones Center opened May 4 and provides foster children rehabilitation for physical and mental well-being.
“This is the first of its kind—where we have fully integrated care in one spot,” said Jeff Bromfield, practice administrator for the Rees-Jones Center. “Many [primary care physicians] don’t work with the foster care population.”
The center is a partnership between Children’s Health and UT Southwestern Medical Center. An $18.9 million grant from the Rees-Jones Foundation enabled the Rees-Jones Center to convert from a foster care medical home program into a long-term, recovery-focused clinic, said Loring Knott, media relations specialist for Children’s Health.
