Welcome to your Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH)
At Long Valley Health Center, we focus on taking a patient-centered approach to health care. A medical home is a team approach to helping you understand and manage your health. Your medical home team includes your health care provider, others in your life who support you, and – most importantly – you.
Your Medical Home Can:
Help you understand and manage your health care
Help answer all your health questions
Listen to your concerns
Work with other medical providers when necessary
Coordinate your care through additional services
Encourage you to take an active role in your own health care
What Can You Expect?
In a medical home, you and your medical team will work together to set goals to improve your overall health. As a significant member of the team, you will be first in communicating the areas that are really important to you.
Your team will answer any questions you have and help you better understand your health care needs.
If you need to get help from doctors outside of Long Valley Health Center, your team can support you through any situation you encounter.
