What is a Patient-Centered Medical Home?
When you choose a NOAH Health Center, you become part of a health care team dedicated to the highest standards of quality and accountability.
As your Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), NOAH is committed to transforming the delivery of primary care to our patients by strengthening the relationship between our patients and providers, and coordinating your care with a team that is committed to your health care needs. The result will be more personalized, coordinated, effective and efficient care. You are the most important member of our team, and we will help you get healthy, stay healthy and coordinate the services that are right for you.
