OSWEGO, NY – December 8, 2023, Oswego Health prides itself on being the region’s first choice for quality care. For the second year in a row, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has recognized both Fulton PrimeCare practices as Patient-Centered Medical Home Programs.
The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home standards emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered, coordinated care that supports access, communication, and patient involvement. It was developed to assess whether clinician practices are functioning as medical homes and recognize them for these efforts. The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home program reflects the input of the American College of Physicians (ACP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American Osteopathic Association (AOA), and others.
Oswego Health currently has six primary care locations and employs nineteen primary care providers throughout Oswego County. Associate Chief Medical Officer and local primary care physician, Micheal Stephens, BSc, MD, AAFP, shares “Oswego Health’s team of physicians, nurses, staff, and administrators take great pride in their role as leaders in healthcare in this community. We are beyond proud of our Fulton team for achieving this recognition as we strive to provide accessible, quality care, and improve the health of residents in our community.”
By regularly seeing a primary care provider, you can identify and control health risk factors before they become problems. Your primary care provider encourages you to take charge of your health and is a trusted partner for that care. To learn more about primary care services offered, visit oswegohealth.org.
