Integrated Care
Integrated Health Care is an essential part of Greater Family Health's philosophy of care provision. We provide our patients with a Care Team that delivers comprehensive and integrated health care, because we know many of our patients have multiple health concerns.
What is Integrated Health Care?
Integrated Health Care is the systematic coordination of general and behavioral health care provided by Greater Family Health. Integrating mental health, primary care, and sometimes substance abuse services produces the best outcomes and proves the most effective approach to caring for people with multiple health care needs.
How Does Integrated Health Care Work at Greater Family Health?
Greater Family Health is certified by The Joint Commission as a Primary Care Medical Home (PCMH). Our status as a PCMH means we can provide our patients with many benefits including care integration for patients with multiple health concerns, expanded access to care, high quality and safe care, and a care relationship that is a partnership between you (the patient) and us (the Care Team). We are dedicated to working with you and your family to ensure that all your needs are met.
How Do You Benefit from Integrated Health Care?
We are responsible for meeting the large majority of our patient’s physical and mental health care needs, including prevention and wellness, acute care, and chronic care. Within Greater Family Health, a team has been built to your needs. Your patient care team may include:
- Physicians, including Psychiatrists
- Advanced Practice Nurses
- Physician Assistants
- Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Professional Counselors
- Dentists and Dental Hygienists
- Care Managers
- Medical Assistants and Dental Assistants
- Nurses
You don’t need to go to different medical practices to receive the variety of high-quality health care services and treatments that you need, as Greater Family Health can either provide that care directly or coordinate it with you. In addition, we will assist you in connecting with services and care provided by pharmacists, nutritionists, social workers and care coordinators.
