About

Family Health Care Center is committed to providing the highest quality care to our patients. We have obtained national and regional recognitions for our comprehensive care and implementation of becoming your “Medical Home.”

Story

Family Health Care Center is proud to announce that we have received Level 3 Recognition from the National Committee of Quality Assurance for their Physician Practice Connections® - Patient-Centered Medical Home™ recognition program. We were part of a pilot group in Georgia, led by the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians, to go through the process and achieve the status as a Patient-Centered Medical Home.

Practices who meet the Physician Practice Connection standards demonstrate they have established connections to information, patients and other providers that allow them to:
Know and use patient histories
Follow up with patients and other providers
Manage patient populations and use evidence–based care
Employ electronic tools to prevent medical errors

You may ask, “What is a Medical Home?” A Medical Home is a team-based approach to providing health care. A partnership develops between the patient, his or her PCP, and a health care team. Together, we will work to coordinate the services you need to provide the best healthcare possible. There are many advantages to the Medical Home approach, such as:
Reduced emergency room visits as a result of us having same day
appointments available
Comprehensive care for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension
and hyperlipidemia
Proactively contacting you to schedule follow-up appointments at a time that
is convenient for you
Help coordinate your follow-up and specialty appointments
Use of our online patient portal to submit appointment requests, refill
requests, etc.

We are here to provide the highest quality care available to Bulloch and surrounding counties. Our clinicians are also recognized by NCQA for their Diabetes Recognition Program. NCQA’s Diabetes Recognition Program recognizes clinicians who have met standards demonstrating delivery of high-quality care to patients with diabetes. Our nurse practitioners are also Certified Diabetes Educators and insulin pump trainers, and they provide accredited group and individual diabetes education.

We welcome the opportunity to be your Medical Home. Please call 912-489-4090 today to schedule your appointment.
