AUBURN —East Hill Family Medical, Inc. and its Summit Pediatrics unit announced they have received “patient-centered medical home” recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance.
East Hill Family Medical, a family medicine practice, said in a release it is the only organization based in both the City of Auburn and Cayuga County to be awarded New York State patient-centered medical home recognition.
To earn the designation, East Hill Family Medical said it ensures its health-care providers work in teams to offer coordinated care to best meet patients’ needs. These teams take into consideration not only patients’ direct heath needs, but also their support network, lifestyle, and personal goals.
“This is about putting the patient in the driver’s seat when it comes to their own care,” April Miles, East Hill Medical’s director of clinical services, said in the release.
East Hill Family Medical and Summit Pediatrics received their distinctions on June 28. The process took nearly a year, and included meeting “high standards of quality assurance,” the organizations said.
