Welcome to The Center for Advanced Illness Coordinated Care (CAICC)

CAICC, a non-profit education and research organization affiliated with Dartmouth Medical School, is proud to partner with Sesame Workshop to provide the "Here For You: Helping Children Cope with Serious Illness" DVD.

Established in 2001 and directed by Dan Tobin, M.D., CAICC focuses its work in the area of pediatric and adult health care coordination and health counseling. CAICC has overseen health services research within the field of chronic and advanced illness care coordination, and is also involved in innovative models of high-engagement philanthropy.

Inspired by a donation from Mrs. Jane Henson, widow of Jim Henson, creator of the beloved Muppets, and the "Here For You" DVD, CAICC created The Helping Children Cope with Serious Illness Fund (HCCwSIF). The program donates funds to children's hospitals in order to support full-time pediatric behavioral health practitioners who will provide additional ongoing health counseling for children and families facing serious illness.
