Primary Care

We operate as a Patient Centered Medical Home. Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) are about what patients want: a focus on patients themselves and their specific health care needs. As medical homes are one of the pillars of the health care system, they stive to give more value to patients and the community by achieving the “Triple Aim” (better Quality, Experience and Cost). American Horizon Medical continues to embody the spirit and practice of the Patient Centered Medical Home. All of our practice staff—from clinicians to the front-end team—work as a team to coordinate care from other providers, facilities and community organizations. We work to operate to the highest degree of our clinical licensure to help maximize efficiency by ensuring that highly trained clinicians are not performing tasks that can be accomplished by other staff/team members. Thus, helping to avoid costly and preventable complications and emergencies through a focus on prevention and managing the chronic conditions of our patient population.

  • We will deliver safe, effective, and efficient care that is well coordinated across the medical neighborhood and optimizes the patient experience.

  • We will provide whole-person care at the first contact. Everyone in the practice – from physicians and practice nurses to medical assistants and frontline staff—will practice to the highest level of their training and license in teams, to support better access, self-care, and care coordination.

  • We will be respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, and ensure that patient values guide all clinical decisions.
    Individuals and families will get help to be actively engaged in their own healthy behaviors and health care, and in decisions about their care.
