Patient Centered Medical Home

A Medical Home is all about you. 

In this personal care model, your primary health care provider establishes a team of medical professionals to administer a specialized wellness plan catered to your needs. To achieve this, your healthcare provider will establish a working relationship with your team and will highlight your family situation, medical history and health issues in order to create your specialized plan. This personal touch builds trust to allow you to rely on your team for their expert, evidence-based health care knowledge that will benefit you and your family.

How will a Medical Home lead to better care for me?

There are many benefits to being in a Medical Home:

• Our comprehensive care system allows for your medical home to help you address any health issue at any given stage of your life.
• Coordination of care occurs when any combination of services you and your provider decide you need are connected and ordered in a rational way, including the use of resources in your community.
• Continuous care occurs over time, and you can expect continuity in accurate, effective, and timely communication from any member of your health care team.
• Proactive care ensures you and your provider will build a care plan to address your health care goals to keep you well, plus be available for you when you get sick.
• Accessible care allows you to initiate the interaction you need for any health issue with a physician or other team member through your desired method (office visit, phone call, or electronically) and you can expect elimination of barriers to the access of care and instructions on obtaining care during and after hours.
• Evidence based care means that your care team stays up to date with the latest medical research and clinical practice guidelines and will work with you to personalize your care to fit your preferences and your goals.
