We are proud to announce that ONE Health Ohio has been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home Program at our locations in Youngstown (Youngstown Community Health Center), Warren (Lloyd McCoy Community Health Center, Warren West Community Health Center, and Kidz 1st Pediatrics), Cortland (Premier Care Pediatrics), Newton Falls (Falls Family Care), and Alliance (Good Samaritan Community Health Center).

The NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving healthcare quality. It accredits and certifies a wide range of healthcare organizations and recognizes clinicians and practices in key performance areas. The NCQA’s Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®) is the most widely used performance measurement tool in healthcare. For more information, visit NCQA’s website.

“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology, and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that ONE Health Ohio at its Youngstown, Warren, Newton Falls, and Alliance locations has the tools, systems, and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”

Dr. Maria Kowal, Chief Medical Officer of ONE Health Ohio, added, “We are proud to have achieved Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition and accreditation by the NCQA. The PCMH model puts patients at the forefront of care. We are committed to serving the people of Mahoning, Trumbull, and Stark counties by providing quality pediatric and adult medical, dental, and behavioral health services, as well as medication-assisted treatment.”
