Geisinger

The Health Care Quality Unit (HCQU), a vital component of Geisinger, serves to enhance the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities across 13 counties in central Pennsylvania. With a commitment to community-based services, HCQU primarily focuses on improving individual health and safety needs within licensed residential environments. They offer comprehensive healthcare management through free training programs for caregivers, educating them on health, nutrition, therapies, and medication management.

In addition to training, HCQU provides valuable clinical expertise to county providers and assists case managers by delivering critical health information. They also gather and analyze data to continually enhance available services. While HCQU does not offer direct healthcare or crisis management, they connect caregivers and individuals to essential health resources, including physicians and therapeutic services. By emphasizing holistic care and community support, HCQU is dedicated to fostering improved outcomes for individuals with disabilities, ensuring they receive the quality services they deserve.
