What is a Family-Centered Medical Home?
The Medical Home is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family-centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective care.
This means our practice, as your Medical Home, is a central resource for all of your child’s care needs. In a Medical Home, your doctor, nurse or physician’s assistant, and their staff who see your child for routine check-ups make you feel like you are the most important part of the health care team. We encourage and support you through all aspects of your child’s care.
As your Medical Home, we will also help you find needed information and resources such as:
-
Pediatric specialists
-
Health conditions/latest treatments

Home care, equipment, and vendors
