Your Medical Home

 

We Are Your Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)

A Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is a team approach to providing total health care. Your medical home includes your health care provider, clinical staff, others that support you (friends and family if you choose), and—most importantly—you.

In a medical home, you and your team work together. As an active member of the team, you have a chance to explain the things that are really important to you and ask questions.  We listen, provide education and information, answer your questions and communicate with your other health care providers (speciality care, labs, hospitals, etc.) to make sure that everyone is on the same page in regard to your health.

We are committed to quality improvement and do our best to make sure that you have the support you need to make informed decisions.

Appointments

Call or stop by the location of your choice to make an appointment.  We do our best to make your appointments with your preferred provider and encourage you to schedule routine and preventive care several weeks in advance. We also have same day appointments available for all types of care.  Call or visit the location of your choice at 8:00 AM to request a same day appointment.  When same day appointments are not available, you may visit the clinic of your choice and wait for a no-show or cancellation.  If we have appointment slots open up we will fit you in.
