Our practice was the first Level 3 medical home in the state of South Carolina to be recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). As a Patient-Centered Medical Home, we are a health care setting that emphasizes partnerships between patients and their personal physicians, and their families, when appropriate.
