Let Us Be Your PCMH!
The Children’s Medical Group is certified as a Patient-Centered Medical Home!
What is a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)?
PCMH is a patient care model that places you and your child at the center of our care. In this model, we collaborate with a team of professionals to enhance your child’s physical, behavioral, and mental health. It represents the care we all want and deserve.
What does this mean for my family?
PCMH means that as a practice, we are focused on:
- Providing patient and family centered care
- Enhanced access (extended office hours, telemedicine, better access to physicians)
- Team-based comprehensive and evidence-based care
- Coordination between health care providers (including specialists, therapists, mental health counselors, etc)
