What Is Patient-Centered Care?
At Community Health Center of Snohomish County (CHC), we provide team-based care led by your primary care provider (PCP). Your doctor or dentist will listen to your concerns, work with you to create a treatment plan and coordinate your care. Our entire team is committed to working with you to address your physical, behavioral and social needs.
Who Is Your Care Team?
An important part of patient-centered care is understanding who makes up your care team. Your main Primary Care Provider is often referred to as a PCP. A PCP can be a doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant. This person is the primary person that you work with on your care team to make decisions about your medical and dental care.
Your Medical or Dental Home is the clinic where your PCP or dentist and a team of healthcare professionals work with you to build a relationship based on your healthcare needs. Your care team might include nurses, behavioral health specialists, nutritionists, physical therapists, pharmacists, or other CHC employees. Our goal is to provide you with the care you need in the way you deserve.
Taking responsibility for and being involved in your care is one of the most important things you can do for your health!
