ChildServe and UnitedHealthcare have established a new

plans access to all ChildServe facilities and care providers.
ChildServe provides a variety of residential and community
services for children with varying health care conditions and
needs, and operates locations in Ames, Des Moines and Johnston.
UnitedHealthcare is administering the IA Health Link program,
working to meet Iowans’ health care needs by providing health plans
that deliver quality, cost-effective care.
“Our mission is to partner with families to help children with
special health care needs live a great life,” said Lloyd
VanderKwaak, ChildServe president and CEO. “More children with
developmental delays, disabilities and acquired injuries will be
able to access our pediatric specialty health care services through
our new relationship with UnitedHealthcare.”
“ChildServe is an important provider of health care services,
and this new relationship gives children enrolled in
UnitedHealthcare’s Medicaid plans access to critical health
services in their communities,” said Kim Foltz, CEO for
