Permanency

The goal of Compass Connections is to help each child find their true north. Our goal is to ensure each child’s safety and well-being are paramount, with a focus on permanency – ensuring all children are safely placed with their forever family.

What We Do

Compass Connections has its own robust medical operations with multilingual healthcare workers who deliver culturally-effective and evidence-based care from newborn through adolescence. Compass Connections medical services include assessment, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of health concerns and daily administration of all medications.

Services are provided 24 hours a day, 365 days a year onsite, through an on-call system and in a sick clinic setting, where our team can diagnose and immediately treat emergent issues and/or enhance medical services already provided.
