Patient Centered Medical Home

What is a Patient-Centered Medical Home?

A Patient-Centered Medical Home is a care delivery model that is patient-centered, comprehensive, team-based, coordinated, accessible, and focused on quality and safety. The medical home team at Health First aims to be your partner in healthcare by serving as your medical home. At Health First, we partner with hospitals, medical clinics, specialists, testing facilities, pharmacies, and other places.
