Innovative Health Foundation

[Guest guest]

Dear Parent(s),

The Innovative Health Foundation is a non-profit

organization that provides clinical scholarships for families. We know that

children with developmental disabilities sometimes require an integrated array

of services, often a financial strain on the family budget. Sometimes children

do not receive the services they need that could benefit their life now and

into adulthood. Our vision is to close the gap in funding for clinical

treatments. We are very excited to offer a small number of scholarships in June 2012. You may visit our website for forms and instructions at www.innovativehealthfoundation.org. How to apply:

Complete the parent portion of the Supplemental Clinical Scholarship Application. Complete and sign the Authorization to Release Protected Health Information.Provide the application and signed release to your service provider.Your service provider will complete treatment sections and the recommended treatment for this scholarship.Your provider submits the application to IHF via email or U.S. Postal mail.If your service provider is not a member of the IHF provider network, then they will also need to complete the Provider Application and submit along with your scholarship application. WE NEED YOUR HELP

Our foundation is producing an informational video to tell the

stories of families with children with developmental disabilities and to demonstrate

the financial need in our communities. We are looking for families willing to be interviewed and share the miracles and the challenges. What are we asking from you?
