Nexus Health Systems These post-acute environments continue the progress made thus far after complex injury, illness, or other diagnosis.

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic condition that affects growth, metabolism, and development. Early detection can make a significant difference in care and outcomes.

Signs of PWS in infants and young children may include:

Low muscle tone (hypotonia)
Poor feeding and slow weight gain in infancy
Developmental delays
Almond-shaped eyes and narrow forehead
Increased appetite and rapid weight gain (in later childhood)

In the Jump Start Program at Nexus Health Systems, we provide specialized care for PWS patients ages 7 up to 21, addressing their unique medical, behavioral, and nutritional needs. Our goal is to help each patient progress toward greater behavioral stability and physical health.

Sometimes the simplest tools make the biggest impact.

In high-acuity inpatient settings, token economies offer children and teens a clear, consistent path toward stability — one positive step at a time. By rewarding progress, teaching accountability, and reinforcing real-life skills, this structured approach builds the foundation for lasting behavioral change through:

Clear expectations
Immediate, meaningful reinforcement
Transferable skills for home, school, and community

When used with intention, token economies not only shape behavior, but also help prepare young people for the next step in their care journeys.

Health is shaped by far more than medical care. Social determinants of health (SDOH) — such as housing, transportation, access to nutritious food, education, and community support — can influence outcomes as much as, or more than, clinical interventions.

By understanding and addressing these factors, healthcare leaders can more effectively close gaps in care, improve health equity, and reduce long-term costs.

At the 2025 Changing Care Together Summit, Karen Hill, MD, MBA, FACP, FAAP, will share how she’s working to integrate SDOH into pediatric care models, and what it takes to make those changes sustainable.

The Integrated Care for Kids (InCK) model is redefining how states build sustainable, community-based care networks for children and youth. By uniting healthcare, schools, social services, and families, InCK aims to improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and address needs before they escalate.

At the 2025 Changing Care Together Summit, All Hands Health Network and the Egyptian Health Department will share how they’re bringing this model to life — from early wins to lessons learned — and what it takes to keep integrated care networks thriving over time.
