What is a Medical Home?
According to the Washington State Medical Home Partnership Project:
A Medical Home is a model of primary health care that focuses on team-based care with the patient and family at the center. It can be especially helpful for individuals with disabilities and chronic health conditions.
A medical home is not just a place. A medical home is a partnership between your family and your child’s doctor* or primary health care provider that emphasizes “home” as:
- Headquarters for care
- A place children and youth with special health care needs and their families feel recognized and supported
- Part of community services
