Given that 1 in 7 children under age 18 or approximately 10.2 million children in the U.S. have special health care needs, this annual conference explored how working parents coordinate their children's medical and child care needs in addition to their work responsibilities. http://www.prleap.com/pr/122607/ Thu, 10 Jul 2008 00:00:00 PDT http://www.prleap.com/pr/122607/ <a href="http://www.prleap.com/pr/121719/"><img src="" border="0" align="left"></a> James Bell Associates (JBA) has been awarded a grant from the Kansas Health Foundation for the highly coveted Evaluation of the Immunize Kansas Kids Initiative (IKK), a three-phased project continuing through 2010.
