Florida Community Health Centers (FCHC) is pleased to announce the renewal of Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certification for ten of its healthcare centers. The certified locations include Clewiston, Lakeshore Medical, Fort Pierce, Indiantown, Moore Haven, Pahokee, Stuart, Darwin Square, Dr. Fred Brown Children’s Health Center, and Port St. Lucie Pediatrics.
The PCMH model is designed to place patients at the center of their healthcare, fostering strong, collaborative relationships between individuals and their care teams. This approach promotes coordinated, comprehensive, and accessible care that is tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Practices recognized as PCMH-certified have demonstrated measurable improvements in the quality of care, patient satisfaction, and staff engagement while also helping to reduce overall healthcare costs. Certification is granted by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), a leading authority that upholds high standards in patient-centered care and continuous quality improvement.
By embracing the PCMH model, FCHC continues its commitment to delivering exceptional care experiences, optimizing health outcomes, and empowering patients through proactive communication and integrated care planning.
“It is crucial to acknowledge that behind the scenes, there is a fantastic team working tirelessly to provide us with all the essential information and support needed for this PCMH recognition achievement. Teamwork makes the dream work,” said Jovita Hernandez, Care Manager Supervisor at FCHC, who spearheaded the effort to renew FCHC’s PCMH certification.
FCHC celebrates this milestone as a reflection of its ongoing dedication to high-quality, patient-centered care and the collaborative spirit that makes it possible.
