What is a Medical Home?

Who’s on Your Team?

Your primary care provider leads your team and ensures you receive the
continuity of care that creates lifelong health. Other members of your team may include nurses, medical assistants or social workers depending on your needs. The team also includes specialists you may be working with from other health organizations such as a cardiologist or hospital staff
