Our primary care practices are recognized as Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH)
What is a Patient-Centered Medical Home?
A Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a team-based health care approach led by a doctor or group of doctors. Each patient has their own doctor who then leads a care team that collectively assist in providing comprehensive and continuous medical care to patients with a goal of obtaining improved health outcomes.
The 'center' of the medical home is the patient. 'Patient-centered' means considering patients’ cultural traditions, personal preferences, values, family situations, social circumstances and lifestyles. The Patient-Centered Medical Home model is driving some of the most important reforms in health care delivery today.
As a patient at one of our PCMH recognized practices, you receive the highest quality of care. Your doctor puts you at the forefront of care and coordinates with specialty providers and community resources while considering your individualized needs. As a patient at a PCMH practice, you benefit from increased patient-access, improved patient experience, and the highest standards of quality.
