We are proud to share that Health Partnership Clinic (HPC) has achieved Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for our Olathe and Paola sites. This national recognition underscores our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, coordinated and patient-focused care.

According to Amy Falk, HPC’s CEO, “The NCQA PCMH recognition indicates that we have met national standards for patient-centered care, emphasizing care coordination, team-based care, and continuous quality improvement.” The rigorous evaluation process examined our approach to access, care coordination, and quality improvement efforts—validating our focus on the patient as the center of everything we do.

A special thank you goes to Joseph Gregory, Director of Quality/HIT, for leading this effort with dedication and precision. His leadership and follow-through were instrumental in achieving this milestone.

 What Is Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Recognition?

The Patient-Centered Medical Home is a care delivery model that emphasizes partnerships between patients and their clinical care teams. Research consistently shows that PCMHs lead to higher quality care, better patient and staff experiences and lower healthcare costs.

Earning PCMH recognition demonstrates HPC’s continued commitment to quality improvement and a patient-centered approach to care—ensuring that each patient receives comprehensive and personalized support on their health journey.

We’re excited to continue building on this momentum as we strive to raise the standard of care for the communities we serve.
