(1) Provide to children with special health care needs a family-centered, comprehensive, and coordinated statewide managed system of care that links community-based health care with multidisciplinary, regional, and tertiary pediatric specialty care.

(2) Provide essential preventive, evaluative, and early intervention services for children at risk for or having special health care needs, in order to prevent or reduce long-term disabilities.
(3) Serve as a principal provider for children with special health care needs under Titles XIX and XXI of the Social Security Act.
(4) Be complementary to children’s health training programs essential for the maintenance of a skilled pediatric health care workforce for all Floridians.
