Associate Family Health Center
Primary Care Services / General Wellness / Meet Your Care Team
The Associate Family Health Center is your medical home. We would like it to be the first place you think of for all your healthcare needs including prevention, wellness, acute care, and chronic care. A PCMH offers you personalized care plans, medication review, coaching, advice, and support. The Associate Family Health Center care team will guide your way and coordinate your care as you make your journey to better health.
A PCMH is not a building, a house or a hospital. It is a partnership with your primary care provider; relationship based, with an orientation toward the whole person. PCMH staff work with each patient to develop a personalized care plan that respects each patient’s unique needs, culture, values, and preferences. Your primary care team will help you navigate all of the elements of the complex healthcare system and provide the right care at the right time by connecting you with community specialists and resources when you need them.
