About Medical Home

Medical Home is a model of care that promotes close partnerships and coordination of care between individual patients, other health providers and physicians. In this model, a patient’s care is administered by a physician-led team that provides for the patient’s health needs and coordinates treatment across the healthcare system. 

The Medical Home team takes a proactive approach to working with patients to achieve the best possible health outcomes. An emphasis on wellness, prevention, health screenings and other strategies allow people to take a greater responsibility for maintaining their health.
