Success Story
Member Gets Help With Formula and Medication Dose
Imagine for a moment that your baby is born early and undersized. Your baby also needs extra formula and medicine. English is not your first language.
This was the experience for a Priority Partners member. The language gap made it hard for her to understand what she needed to do for her baby. Unknown to the mother, she was adding too much water to the formula. The child was not getting the right amount of nutrition. On top of that, the mother had been giving her baby an incorrect dose of medication.
With her baby in the NICU, Priority Partners sent a care manager to help the mother. The care manager showed the mother the right way to mix the formula and how to give the right dose of medicine. Today, her child is doing well, growing and thriving.
