ABOUT US
CPT in District 15 is somewhat unique in the fact that we have office
sites for case coordinators in each of the four counties served in our
District. This decentralization allows the Child Protection Team Coordinators
in District 15 to be both visible and accessible to the Department of
Children and Families. We also have CPT doctors in three counties based
on Florida Community Health Clinics, and our CPT medical director serves
children from the fourth county.
