Community health centers provide essential health services to all patients, even those uninsured or unable to pay. When these centers operate as patient-centered medical homes, they can care for patients more efficiently and effectively.
A new infographic by the Commonwealth Fund looks at some of the key characteristics of a patient-centered medical home and the growth of community health centers now operating as medical homes from 2009 to 2013.
